It’s when we look into the center of our own being that we find that “home” wasn’t so out of sight after all. Here’s to the wandering souls who have been searching for that feeling only to come up short, and here’s to the one’s who listened to the familiar melodies all along.

Funny how we can be so far from what we know as “home” and yet be so connected to the essence of our being. Feeling more comfortable in your skin than being “home” ever tried to make you feel. I think this whole revelation is what makes humans so interesting; we are constantly reaching out for new spaces, destinations, and people without looking deep within to the desire that is manipulating us. That loneliness you feel because no one understands you… It’s the common independent variable we all share in this whirlwind of human existence. The idea of running away and starting the life you have always dreamed of, or maybe a whole new life you have nothing in common with, sparks an interest within most of us. Creating this glamourized life within our heads of how everything should go, or maybe no plans at all just an image of the land you’d like to walk on, pulls us into its grasp with little effort.

This is because escapism feels more comfortable than confronting the restraints we have put around our own soul. Home was within you all along my dear. It was never in an outside location or a dreamy pair of eyes. It was within the crevasses of your own broken heart. A heart that needed to feel the love you so egotistically ripped away from yourself because something in the world was stronger than your own self-love. You were not born to drown.

You are the roots deep within the sands and layers of Earth we walk upon, you are the rivers pulse and the hawks scream. You are the thorn and the delicate petal. You are the pollen drifting in the wind, a crackling fire and a raindrop freezing. You are the precious moments of creation in between each moment that we call time. You are the winds that carve the Earths rock. When you are reminded of your power and emanate creation, you become in sync with your role upon this planet.

You were never meant to make home out of places or people, you have been a part of the mass layout and creation for longer than you know. You are home. Home is within you. When we harmonize with this feeling we start to expand, and share the insights on how we reach this space within ourselves. We have had the power all along. We have had the greatness all along, it just took some river blow outs and wind storms to remind us of our power. Removing the entire sense of self to BE promotes the passion and ignition of love we were looking for all along. Instead of allowing our deepest desires to manipulate us, we are taking action and making choices to influence the world with our gift of perspective and inception. Creating no barrier between Universe, Earth and Human.

I used to reach for the sense of home so often that I allowed it to affect me to the point where I was angry over being happy at the thought of reaching this “destination”. I didn’t understand why bad things happened in the world, or how to get to where I needed to be because of the urge to blame an outside stimuli. The ugly truth is that no one can really tell you how to feel, what choices to make or anything regarding your personal will because the choice is in your hands. You are the one who fights the battles of thought, no one else.  If you made the decision to listen to an outside source that was a choice, if you end up down a misleading path that was a choice. When we learn to take responsibility, remove the manipulation of the ego and become a part of creation over destruction, we open our lives up to infinite possibilities. There are endless trails, paths and roads that signify a place for your soul to wander compared to placing a form of possession over an illusion of Peace. There is no true happiness in grasping onto external factors, the happiness comes from the feeling of exhilaration or peace in knowing your soul guided you to a point in history that no one else has reached. Simply because it is unique to you. We didn’t allow the independent variable of changing horizons to overwhelm us with the fear of never finding the right kind of peace. Instead we took a leap of faith into the depths of our heart center to come to an understanding that peace starts within. Sunshine comes from within. Darkness comes from within.

We are never separated from the true essence of home within ourselves, this limitation only exists in the mind. Uprooting and manipulations by desire come from the inability to find strength and love within yourself, only reaching out to the materialism and heartbeats that feed a different part of our soul.

There is no reason to punish or fear the part of ourselves that reach out for more constantly; never feeling satisfied and always longing for more. The question to ask ourselves here is more of what? If we want to feel whole we need to remember that everything we think we need lays right within the deepest pits of our being. We came into this world with a bare ass and love. If you ever think you need more take a moment to step out of your shoes. Walk in the shoes of another fellow human and come to terms with the longing they suffer from. We are all secretly reaching out for help because we have been conditioned to believing the truth lays in the outskirts far from where we are right now.

The whole point is that we would stop seeing the world as such a hurtful place if we relished in the feeling of home within ourselves. Creating no boundary between happiness and the self. The only true obstacles we face are those of listening to the heart and making choices that guide us down a path of life and beauty. When we sit in the ambience of our heart we lose the desire to see new places, we then know that our heart will always guide us to the spaces that our guidance and love is aligned with.
