Home Is
by

There are precious people that live in one place most of their life – farmers,
ranchers, and even city dwellers. Where they live becomes a web of family and
neighbors. Place dwellers are accountable to everyone because everyone knows
where they live. Place dwellers cultivate peace, cooperation, friendships.
Where they live and how they live is "community". They call where they live
"home" and that word has meaning to them, their children, grandchildren, great
grandchildren, and everyone that visits. Can you imagine a "world" called
"home", where everyone is accountable?
"If you stand sill long enough, even wild horses will sniff your butt."
There are precious people that live in many places most of their life –
drifters, travelers, truck drivers, adventurers. The traveler's suitcase is
always half packed in a closet. To the traveler, their heart is their home.
When they visit their dweller friends, the travelers radiate newness and
freshness, and then they move on.

I have seen people gently talk things through. I mean with broken hearts, with
drastically different views, and do so with sincerity and a tender spirit. In
their doing, they define maturity. If two people can do such, so can countries.

Never beat a horse that you can love, and there is no horse that does not need
your love – nor man, nor woman, nor child.

We are all reaching out. The question is, "Are we reaching out to receive or to
give?" When reaching out to get, and we get more and more, we stagnate in our
things. When we give, we have less and less until all we have is life. And then
there are times when we reach out because that is all we can do, and what we
receive saves our life. It is not complex. Give with humility. Accept with
humility. Always say, "Thank you." and "You are welcome."
"Love alone is Life;
And life most sweet, as heart to heart
Speaks kindly when we meet and part."
