Coming “home”, and then I think, hmmmm…what is home?  17 definitions later I find:

Home: an environment offering affection and security

I think home is a feeling.  A person can have many homes, so contrary to the many definitions I found, it is not exclusively a building, place or where a person grew up.  I can, without searching the memory banks with vigor, think of 8 homes I have experienced.  Some of them have no building but I can find them when ever & where ever I find certain people with whom I am totally “at home”.  The rest are associated with buildings, however I assume that with the buildings gone the home would just relocate to where ever the people who used to inhabit the buildings went.

Related wonder walking in the door of my “home”, seeing the smile of welcome on the face of my son and of course the bouncy dog that was first to hear me and greet me before I could even get in the door.  Yup, I definately think that home is a feeling to be experienced, it requires no building, no money, and no stuff.  It requires only you and another to be accepting of each other just as you are and sometimes it doesn’t even require being in the same place.
