Life can be maddening in the flux and change
presented to us—even the world’s climate that surrounds us is apparently undergoing
significant change. How can we gain
stability and get a foothold? A sense of
home is in one sense a sense of place. I
especially remember this year those who have been uprooted from their homes and
sent adrift in the world. Thank goodness
for Thanksgiving—a holiday filled with deep family and friendship ties set apart
in steadfast images. While we can be
thankful for many things, this reliable tribute to warmth of feeling itself anchors
us. The quest for freedom and diversity ultimately
rests upon this reliable resource of home and hearth. Such humble, intimate domestic origins give
rise to the loftiest cosmopolitan goals.
