“The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.” Maya Angelou
When I am full of energy I want to explore
New cultures, new places, new cuisines, I want more
When things are going well I want to expand
My horizons, I have a hunger to understand
More of the world, I have the desire to be
Well-rounded, a global citizen definitely
When I feel secure in my place and my identity
I am more willing to embrace diversity..
*
When I feel insecure, hopeless, downcast
The lure of novel experiences diminishes fast
During such moments I crave the comfort of familiarity
Food, music, dance from my roots bring solace to me
*
When we are insecure, protection we need
Going back to our roots is like going home indeed
When you apply it to different societies you see
Why they embrace or reject diversity
Passion...unbridled
