It matters little to them to leave their homes and go. But we build ours with our minds. That becomes an invisible shelter in all that we do ,in our work, our reading , our thinking. Just as a cart makes grooves on its journey which we can feel in the swaying of our bodies, a mind involuntarily settles into grooves it makes with mind?s eye.
