Coming Home

We have forgotten we are already home

By David SchroerPublished 5 years ago • 2 min read

We are-

A species with amnesia.

A species distracted.

A species lost on our path home.

A species so enamored by our technology, we have forgotten to feel.

A species so focused on our hammer that we forget to build our house.

A species that prefer knowledge to wisdom.

A species so focused on others lives that we forget to live our own.

A species that will argue with a stranger a world away while ignoring our own family.

A species that numbs the very feelings and emotions we are meant to feel.

A species that values profits over people.

A species addicted to more when less is the answer.

A species capable of both horrific atrocities and awe-inspiring beauty.

A species plagued with simultaneous epidemics of gluttony and famine.

A species so fearful of death that we forget to live.

A species civilized enough to identify the threats to its survival, yet too uncivilized to do anything about it.

A species that thinks ourselves supreme, based on our momentarily evolutionary lead.

A species without purpose, without meaning, without a sense of Home.

That’s a species destined to suffer.

An endangered species.

Humans must course correct

Humans must love.

Humans must cherish.

Humans must cooperate.

Humans must feel Home spiritually.

Humans must feel Home emotionally.

Humans must feel Home physically.

Humans must feel love to feel Home.

Home is where we sing,

Home is where we dance,

Home is where we laugh,

Home is where we cry,

Home is where we accept,

Home is where we trust,

Home is where we grow,

Home is devoid of judgment,

Home is devoid of violence,

Home is devoid of insecurity,

Home is devoid of hate,

Home is devoid of fear,

Home is our partner,

Home is our family,

Home is our children,

Home is our friends,

Home is our neighbors,

Home is beautiful,

Home is love,

Humans must remember we are already Home.

Humans must remember it is our responsibility to keep this Home healthy.

For living a life of love is the true meaning of life.

We can continue searching for Home, or we can simply Return to it.
