Coming Home!
Coming Home!
In how many places have I been?
Different parts of the world:
Cities, states, countries, continents!
Traveled like crazy
from Europe to California
via Australia; with a stop in Seattle;
4 days in Helsinki;
a quick, good marathon in Waikiki;
climbing a temple in Tikal;
a fast drive through Hungary
and Lord countless more!
Sun, Snow, Rain, Clouds
seen it all!
A quick stop in N.Y. to fuel up
on some Light!
But in between all that
There is always only one place to go:
HOME!
Now what does that mean?
First thoughts:
Oh God, back home? To the start?
Back to old me, little Aruna?
Home to Mom and Dad?
Mama and Papa?
Good or bad?
Home to ‘What will I do here? Work?’
‘Will I live here forever?’
Aruna, come on, think again:
Okay, home to great
friends: Mama and Papa.
Home to my own space,
my bed, my stuff, my shrine, my place!
Home to my own car! Yeah!
Home to the Autobahn, for a nice drive!
Home to my City, cute and little!
Home where I just feel, well, …Home!
Big Question: What will happen?
Will I leave again, escape?
Or will I stay and get a life?
Well God alone knows the answer!
Or maybe not even He knows!
But does it matter? Not really, I guess!
I have learned one thing.
All that is just ‘outer’ stuff!
No matter where in God’s Creation I am,
I am always HOME:
In my Guru’s heart.
He has said so to me before
And now I know what it means!
All my Gratitude to Him,
Aruna
