Definitions of Home: Part 4, “A Train”

Home isn’t a place or a person.

Home is an attitude.

Lying on the soft tiny bed in this train,

I realize that I’m not rushing to go anywhere.

I have what I need right here,

And it isn’t much better anywhere else.

I have peace of mind, comfort, and I have music if i need it.

Sure my relatives miss me sometimes and there are people who want to see me.

There are things for me to do somewhere.

But that’s all in the past and future.

Not on this train.

Here I am with myself,

And as long as I am with myself anywhere,

Anywhere can be home.

Any discomfort and uncertainty can be an adventure.

I don’t have to be afraid, as here I am just as safe and loved as anywhere else.

The world hasn’t stopped spinning,

I am very much grinning.

I am on the train.

I am also home.
