The concept of home is such a simple complexity. Is it a presence, a search, a destination, a desire, a lover or a DIY?
Are it's contours predetermined, a work-in-progress, a shallow end of the pool or the deepest part of the ocean?
It it a place to rest before the next bout of restlessness or is it the place to determine destinations?
How does its being get significance - by a mere return every evening or a filling of space or a collection of accoutrements?
Does it come with a character predetermined or is it a mere reflection of what makes the universe inside us?
Do adventures end in a home? Do they get beget here? Do they find their demise, their resurrection, their meaning and their scripting here? Or is it a mere cemetery, where everything is laid to rest, albeit with tenderness?
What is a home? Do we require it only for replenishment and shelter? Or is it something which is a part of what we are , and in turn makes us what we are?
What is home?
