To Run Or Not To Run? That is the Question.

(Today I've to dissuade someone from running away from home)

“Running away will never make you free”

- Kenny Loggins


Ironical since that the reason why most people run away - to be free.

“Adventure must start with running away from home”

- William Bolitho


Looks like there is more than one type of running away.

You'll Know When It Is Time To Go Home.

(It is good to be back home.)

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm I've got to go home

- Christina Conseco


Some places it may take a week
Some places two
Some places a month maybe more
But there always comes a time
When I long - to go home.

- Ghostwise

~~~~~~~~~~"

To thee I'll return, overburdened with care;
The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there;
No more from that cottage again will I roam;
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
Home, home, sweet, sweet, home!
There's no place like home, oh, there's no place like home!

- John Howard Payne


Somehow, I always sleep sweeter,
In my own bed, In my own home.

A Palace Must Be A House.

(Spent the whole morning taking pictures of palace.)

“Poetry is certainly something more than good sense, but it must be good sense, just as a palace is more than a house, but it must be a house”

- Samuel Taylor Coleridge


I would like my house to be a palace, but if it cannot be; I rather stay in a house than a palace.

The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.

- Henry David Thoreau


The wise man realize the most important ingredient for the construction of a happy home is warmth and not grandeur.

You Have To Be There.

In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.

- Tao Te Ching

Whatever good you desire for your family is just intention, being there is action.

- Ghostwise

~~~~~~~~~~"

A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.

- Buddha

We can have a family without harmony, but we cannot have a family without love.

- Ghostwise

Travel & Home

No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

-Lin Yutang


We love to travel because we know we have a home to come back to.

One cannot divine nor forecast the conditions that will make happiness; one only stumbles upon them by chance, in a lucky hour, at the world's end somewhere...

- Willa Cather (1873-1947)

But one is more likely to stumble upon the chance meeting if one is moving than being stationary.
