Homing
Home. The foundational aspects of home include a sense of connectedness, belonging, safety, and mutual care. Having served folks without a home in a clinic and jail setting for eight years, you could say I have cared about home and health for some time.
To carry a sense of home is to have a connection to place and your community members--and to celebrate the shared connection to place and each other. To celebrate our differences and what we uniquely offer.
That we each have a story, and those stories are part of a greater connected whole of vibrant life.
The word ecology comes from the Greek word oikos, meaning house. The work before us is to tend to our inner and outer houses and landscapes. I believe our outer landscapes are like a mirror of our inner landscapes. When we remember how to offer presence and attention to our greater community of beings, more-than-human kind, we remember how to relate to each other in reciprocity.
We are home for each other.
