Thought for the day, Saturday 6th July

“Sometimes we feel that we aren’t in our true home because the person we love isn’t there. We think that if we can be together with our beloved, we’ll feel more at home. But if we have not found our true home, then even when we’re with the person we love, we won’t feel at home. This is why it’s very important for us to find our true home first. Only then can we help our beloved one find their true home. Otherwise, both of us will be without a home, still looking somewhere outside of ourselves.

We should not think that our true home is wherever our beloved one is. Our true home is in our heart. And when we have found our true home, we feel at home anywhere we go.”

From Peace Is This Moment by Thich Nhat Hanh
