When I was sad
You took my hand
You opened your heart to me
Saying
Here my friend is a place where you can
Just be
Yourself
Feeling whatever it is you need to feel
In order to be real and free
You were the only one
Who did not turn me away
The only one who offered no unnecessary
Platitudes or rationalisations
And so it was you helped me heal
By allowing me to feel most fully
What was true for me
You did not turn your face away
And so here in your loving presence
I found a place to be and stay
A place I had hungered for
Not knowing it
But finally recognising
Deep down inside
When I finally found
A place to call home
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Home is so important

It is whether we find it deep inside or with another person… there is no place like it.

Absolutely Deborah. I find myself still searching for it. It is deep within me. But I still search for it in a place. I want to go back to my grandparents’ farm. For that WAS home. 😊
