What this episode covers
We live in a time where many people do not have shelter physically or emotionally. Lynn and John circle the meaning of home and ponder many of the situations where people are displaced or discarded into a fragile way of being. Losing a friend or family member can chip away at the idea of home. How many wish to disappear or run away? How do we carry the idea of home as we journey through life? Humans crave places where they are welcome and can thrive. We invite our listeners to think about where and what those places are for you.
