What is HOME?

I went online today to find out what is home. That is, I know what "home" defines to us, to our little farm and to our lives. My question was what would appear if I went online and searched for "home". What came up was everything but that which I sought: I found Home Theater, Home Page, Home Depot. Home Equity, Home Insurance, Home Improvement, Home Rule...

But when people yearn for HOME, I'm willing to bet that none of these subcategories of home commercialization have anything to do with what their hearts are seeking.

When I think of HOME, I'm not thinking of Home Business, Home Modification, or Home Staging. I am thinking of those subtle indicators, assessed almost by radar, that tell us when we are home. Home. No where else. What are those vibrations that tell us when we are close to home? No GPS can be as accurate as the human heart. Often the strongest pull is not when we are geographically close, but when we are emotionally close. Can any mechanical device follow those unseen paths? I think not.

For those of you who have found the path..... welcome home.
