"
There is an old shed near my house. Each April, after their long journey from Africa, the swallows return to the same nests in its rafters. They refurbish the nests and soon new little swallows will hatch out there.

It is fascinating that the destination of such a huge continental journey is the fragile little grass and mud homes in the roof of an abandoned shed. It suggests that one can undertake any voyage if the destination is home.

Humble or grand, home is where your heart belongs.

When it is a place of shelter and love, there is no place like home.
