A quote to begin the Sabbath:

Frederick Buechner, in his recent book Longing for Home, writes: “We carry inside us a vision of wholeness that we sense is our true home that beckons us.” But, he adds, “woe to us if we forget the homeless ones who have no vote, no power, nobody to lobby for them, who might as well have no faces. Woe to us if we forget our own homelessness. To be homeless the way people like you and me are apt to be homeless is to have homes all over the place but not really to be home in any of them. To be really at home is to be really at peace, and our lives are so intrinsically interwoven that there can be no peace for any of us until there is real peace for all of us.”
