Homecoming

“Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.” Steve Jobs’ last words

“Every heart, every heart to love will come / But like a refugee.” Leonard Cohen’s Anthem

“He ran to his son, and kissed him.”

Prodigal sons

We return to ourselves when we come back to the present moment. When we’re unshackled from memory and anticipation.

Noblesse oblige

You are a prince. Act like one.

Death of a prodigy

A prodigal son awakes to the realization that he is a prince living in a pigsty. This is the birth of a new consciousness. Then he decides to stay in the pigsty. This is the death of a new consciousness.

Jesus: “Do not put new wine in old wine skins.” Epictetus: “If you want to change old habits, you may have to move to a different country in order to do it.”

And it was a beautiful day

Home is not a house; it’s the present moment.

If we are not present, we are not at home.

The prodigal son awakened in a pig barn. Stunning, to find oneself at home in a pig barn.
