Convergence

The more I move ahead in life, the more I converge.. The longer the passage of time, the more I converge. Going back to the center, reaching in. In my self and in others. I am growing fonder of my roots by day, longing for the concept of home, of "sakan". I am looking for answers within and without.

It is ironic how as children and as younger adults, we want to drift as further away as possible from the core, we feel a constant need to reach out and extend, expand. Now I relate more to people who remind me of home, no matter how unrelated to me in blood. I like people who look like family, who feel like family, I like people who know about my family.

The concept of home is beautiful, and what is more beautiful is that I am learning to carry my home within myself.
