Home is the hearth to the encoded fire, its walls encourage order of the highest kind. It is the microcosm of the whole—a center for birth and death, growth and contemplation. As Confucius says, “When the individual families have learned kindness, then the whole nation has learned kindness and when the individual families have learned courtesy, the whole nation has learned courtesy.” The children we raise represent the legacy we leave. Be they the children of our flesh, our minds, our hearts, our creative energy, it is our responsibility to ensure a rich inheritance to the whole of mankind. In response to the bounty of this world, we must offer the bounty of the human at its highest. This cannot be accomplished without home.
