‘Welcome home, John.’ – Cortana (Halo 4)


There are places in this world that we cherish. And people who make those places a part of who we are. These two always go together, do they not?

Whether we admit it or not, a home is more than we realise. It’s greater than a place, more intricate than our memories allow us to know. Far too often, when we are content and surrounded by goodwill, we underestimate the complexity of feeling that shapes our understanding of this concept.

Home. There is more to this word, I think, than first meets the eye. There are depths of feeling we unconsciously associate with home – it’s a feeling as much as a concretely defined physical space. It extends beyond walls and doors, and beds, and tables.

It’s about what you carry with you, wherever you are. It’s about the people you never leave behind, no matter how far you wander.
