That return home is a powerful thing to watch. I remember sitting on the back of the river, watching thousands of these fish return to the place of their origins. But what moved me the most was the mystery behind this return. The longing to return home is not just in salmon. I truly believe that one of the ancient longings that is within us all is to find our home.
Home is a place where one can feel vulnerable.
Home is the place where you can be yourself. It is the willingness to leave things behind, even security, and move toward one's true mission in life. Jacob wants to return home. But before he gets there, he must cross the river Jabbock. And then it happens.
