Coming Home Soon

PORTVILLE.

All roads lead HOME.
In the next few months, this is "where the heart is".


"All of life is a coming home.

Salesmen, secretaries, coal miners, beekeepers, sword swallowers, all of us.

All the restless hearts of the world, all trying to find a way home.

It's hard to describe what I felt like then. Picture yourself walking for days in the driving snow; you don't even know you're walking in circles. The heaviness of your legs in the drifts, your shouts disappearing into the wind.

How small you can feel, and how far away home can be.

Home.
The dictionary defines it as both a place of origin and a goal or destination.

And the storm? The storm was all in my mind. Or as the poet Dante put it: In the middle of the journey of my life, I found myself in a dark wood, for I had lost the right path. Eventually I would find the right path, but in the most unlikely place." -Patch Adams
