Take Time For Paradise

Home is an English word virtually impossible to translate into other tongues. No translation catches the association, the mixture of memory and longing, the sense of security and autonomy and longing, the aroma of inclusiveness, of freedom from wear-iness, that clings to the word "Home," and are absent from "house," or even "my house."

"Home" is a concept, not a place; it is a state of mind...
stability, origins, a sense of oneness, the first clearing in the woods. To go "Home," may be impossible, but it is often a driving necessity or at least a compelling dream...

People build "Homes" out of their own essence, shells to shelter their personality...
Thus "Home" is a goal or intention that becomes realized through the
attention its inhabitants give it...

One of the most important psychological purposes of the "Home" is that those objects
that have shaped one's personality and which are needed to express concretely those
aspects of the self, that one's values are kept within.

Thus the "Home" is not only a material shelter but also
A shelter for those things that make life meaningful.
