When we are able to settle into truly being present to ourselves, we begin to get the sense that home lies within us. There's nothing to get, we've already got it, it's all right here. The Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh has a wonderful phrase that helps us realize this: "Breathing in, I have arrived; breathing out, I am home." You can shorten it to "arrived" on the in-breath and "home" on the out-breath.
