In Tribute

“Homecoming” I believe there is Someone waiting for me,

Waiting to say: “Welcome Home!” Someone I have never seen, but whom I will recognize

in the depths of my heart because He has lived there since the beginning of time.

Someone who has never doubted my return, never failed to still my doubts about my return.

I believe there is Someone who knows me so intimately, loves me so totally, that joy will spark spontaneously

when we reunite in the land of immortal Birth. Tears will be wiped away; Sadness and fear will

disappear as mist when it meets the morning sun. This is whom I seek, who seeks me.

He has never left me alone. For He is Self of my self,

Soul of my soul, Life of my very life.
