I love the statement that home is a face you understand, and that understands you. I have long been trying to define 'home'. And this has helped. Thank you, Caroline!

Caroline, I really liked this piece. I feel for you, in being torn between places. I haven't (yet) had the experience of not being allowed to return to a place that was home; I can imagine that that is difficult. As for your definition of home, I'm not sure it would work for me. There are places that I understand, but I'm not sure I have found a place that understands me. It may just be my personality type, but that feels like setting the bar rather high. Yesterday, someone actually asked me what home was for me, and I said it was any place where I feel safe, centered, and at peace.
