I've mentioned a few times that one of my favorite bands is Over The Rhine, the husband/wife team of Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist. From time to time Linford writes newsletters that go out to their e-mail list. The latest edition came out today. In it, he writes these words:
"We were talking a lot about Home the last few weeks. Karin and I have chosen a life where pretty much every day we get to spend at home is a prize, a rare gift, something we worked for, an event drenched in gratitude. And yet, maybe home is not really about geography or air quality, or moonlight, or being in the city or out of the city, or in a red state or blue state, or in a music town or a working class town. Maybe home has more to do with the work we've all done as individuals to increasingly become people we can live with. Maybe home is the desire to live soulfully, the tiny ongoing decisions we make that allow the soul room to breathe."
wise words...
