Home Sweet Home

I just arrived in New Zealand for a bit of a holiday, to top up my accent and see my family. It’s been three years since I was last back and I thought it might be a little more of an emotional return, a home coming of sorts. Yet there was no welling up, no emotion, no getting down on my hands and knees and kissing the ground, nothing at all. Talk about disappointing! That’s the thing with expectations; they never happen how you think.
My mum used to have this fridge magnet. Right next to the one that said “Kiss the chef” was a big one which read “Home is where the heart is”. It’s truer than she realised. There was no home coming because I am perpetually home, returning every time I surrender the past and the future for the quiet still silent space within.
I like that. The reason I learnt to Ascend was because I felt a little lost, a little adrift. I had built a life out of things and people and activities, but all without an inner connection, a place to lay my head.
Ascension gave me a path of return consisting of a simple choice, and with that there is no being lost. Nothing of value can be taken from me. Nothing on the outside can replace it. There’s no more searching. It’s all I ever wanted - a place to rest, independent from all things yet able to enjoy everything: Full, content, Self-sufficient.
All of you have the same choice.
Surrender; put your bags down. Home is closer than your eyeball, nearer than your heartbeat. No matter your outside circumstance, at any time you can dump your suitcases of demand and insistence, sit back in the comfy chair of your own presence and arrive.
