Home (2)

Just before posting my last post on home and the true self, I opened my Tian Dayton daily meditation book to this page on Home by some strange synchronicity.  I wanted to share it as a follow up to my earlier post.

Home

I will look for and create places in my life where I feel seen and understood for who I am.  Craziness is sometimes thought of as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.  I will not beat my head against a wall.  If I am constantly misread and misunderstood somewhere, I will go elsewhere to see if I am understood there.  I cannot come to see and understand myself if I am misunderstood and accused of being other than who I think and feel myself to be.  I need to feel in synch enough to balance out one opinion with another, one perception with another.  I will go crazy trying  to get approval where it is constantly withheld.  I need not overreact and run away in horror, but I definately owe it to myself to get a second opinion.  The truest home that I have is within me – where God and I dwell together.

Home is where the heart is.

Home is not where you live, but where they understand you.
