Finding our way home

finding our way home again and again

Who am I? Why am I here? How am I to live? These questions are driven by our intrinsic longing to belong. While the longing to belong is a constant, an inner home of belonging is not. Over our lifetime we may experience numerous homes. If that is the case, how do we find our way home again and again? The dance of being and becoming guides our way. But beyond an awe-inducing poetic term, what does the phrase dance of being and becoming mean? What framework of understanding enables us to consciously participate in the dance? This paper depicts one person’s experience and research into the dance of being and becoming in the hope that readers will be encouraged to name and claim their own home of belonging again and again.
