Home

Our house - This is one of those songs from my youth that I remember well. Though much has changed over the years, going or coming home is more about people than place, whatever country I'm in.

Henri Nouwen writes "A mosaic consists of thousands of little stones. Some are blue, some are green, some are yellow, some are gold. When we bring our faces close to the mosaic, we can admire the beauty of each stone. But as we step back from it, we can see that all these little stones reveal to us a beautiful picture, telling a story none of these stones can tell by itself....That is what our life in community is about. Each of us is like a little stone,"
