(Instinctively, the image of a peaceful haven comes to mind.) A cocoon where one feels secure, loved, and understood. Home is family. It is a child's hug. It is a mother tongue; it is comfort food and familiar faces around the table, a beloved pet or even just a simple smile from a lover. Home is not a set of coordinates: a house, a street, a town, a state, a country, an apartment in the city or a cottage by the sea. It doesn’t exist in the physical world: - It is an experience, a memory. Home is within oneself. It is a state of being. It’s a time machine. It goes backwards and leads to a place where we ache to go over and over again. Home is balance. Home is reconciliation. Home is forgiveness. Home is release. - Ulysses had refused the offer of eternal youth and immortality by having just a small chance of returning to this "home". Alexei Siozov
