Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost….

And let that knowing take you home.”

– Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Remember when you were a child.  You would go out and have grand adventures all day long. Then, at the end of the day, your mother would come to the door and call your name, calling you home.  Back to the place where you belonged, to the place that was safe, where you would be nourished and a place where you could rest.
