A Poem For Today - Finding Home

[KEN DICKINSON]



Finding Home

I love how the roots of flower and vegetable starts tuck into the fresh 

soil and make a home for themselves

I love how delicious food graces your mouth and then your belly and 

your whole body seems to wrap around it and take it in.

I love how when you meet a kindred spirit your heart leaps in 

recognition of yet another place to call home

I love how when you sit in meditation calling all your worldly energy 

back to yourself that from deep down your breath finds you again

Or how a simple poem, laughter, or suddenly a favorite song can re-

member the scattered and fragile places that you didn’t know were 

homeless until you did, and you find yourself remarkably, home again

And you realize not for the first time, that things sometimes feel elusive 

but that the fruit, the friend, the food, the song, the breath gathers you 

up in transport and brings you where you long to be.
