All the steps leading away,
the doubts and indecision,
your body knows
and is telling you,
if you would stop and listen.
All the friends who encourage
and whose words are not the solution,
which gradually emerges in the dark,
and is your work, not their obligation.
Get past gratitude for what is offered;
don't linger there for long
because you must move on,
it is your soul's heart's desire.
This is your issue. If you want to go home,
focus on its meaning
until you are not aware
of whether or not it is day or night,
until these things no longer matter.
Start out in a world
with no demands.
Your intention will lead you
into the decision of your moving
on your own impulsion into the journey
of coming home,
coming through the longing,
the awakening, the growth
that such a goal,
such a journey means.
When I am going home,
the nearer I get to it,
the more I'm not going -
I'm coming,
I'm coming home.
Somehow, coming is a warmer word
than going.
