We didn’t take family vacations for eighteen years. We’d get away for a weekend now and again, but our commitments to CTL - both time-wise and financially - curtailed leisure activity. But who needs a vacation when the power of The Work and the soul-gifts we received through our leader’s wisdom were bestowed on us every day? 😉 Back in our CTL days, my husband and I didn’t even think about vacations.

I am home. And so are you, according to Indigenous wisdom. 

On my return flight - direct from Barcelona to Montreal - I watched four short films by Indigenous filmmakers*. One included a scene where a grandmother and a girl of about 6 years are doing chores. The girl seemed content but I sensed underlying pain. In the midst of wringing out the clothes, the girl suddenly blurts, “I want to go home.” The grandmother says calmly, “I am home” a couple of times.
