| Prompt: Quote Let this quote inspire your entry: “Home isn't where you're from, it's where you find light when all grows dark.”- Pierce Brown ------ I love this quote. Why I can't tell, immediately... not at first sight, now. Possibly only a shrink could figure this out...unless I think while writing. I have an inkling though, since I am starting to write. It must be all the friends I made from all over the world and all the places I've been to, but then, even in the worst conditions and in the darkest places, I always saw a glint of light. In the end, when all is said and done, feeling at home has to do more with people and their light than any place alone. Yes, home is a refuge more than a place or a house. It is when the world feels unsteady, someone lights it up for me, like a friend who listens to my woes without trying to fix me up or a gentle voice saying, "I'm here; don't worry!" It could even be my daily routine that steadies and calms me or the memory of a loved one that pops up just when I need it. Also, home may be a community, like my extended family or an online site like WdC, in the quiet corner of my life that catches me when I fall or feel down. It may not be where I began or what I expected, but it is where I might be able to see clearly again when and where the darkness stops being absolute. This is because something within that space insists to keep on shining. So, it has to be, in the end, home is less about anything else but more about friends, people, and illumination. Tangible or not, it is a place where I am reminded that I don't have to face my shadows alone. It is a place where I can discover my own strength in the beautiful glow of its comfort and light. And this has to be why I so liked this quote as soon as I read it. |
