When I ask, ‘Have you found your true home?’ you might respond, ‘Not yet, Thay.’ But with this teaching and practice, we can find our true home. The teaching is … [one] …of residing in joy, taking refuge in the joy and happiness of the present moment. If we know how to return to the present moment and generate the energy of mindfulness, concentration, and insight, then we will be able to get in touch with the wonders of life. We will have happiness and joy immediately. Because we have insight, we no longer discriminate and divide, we are no longer narrow-minded.
Thich Nhat Hahn, Together, We are One
Home seems to be as Rick Hanson says parasympathetic nervous system activated, calm and at peace below the ego, totally present. All of our emotions are at our disposal. Anywhere we are is home if we take a few focused breaths.
Happiness is not a destination, a place, a thing, an honor.
