No Place Like Home

I never really liked the Wizard of Oz. And i never knew it was a musical til lately. And i always got scared from those creepy monkeys. But Dorothy makes this statement:

There is no place like home.

Actually, there are plenty of places like home.
Example: the dorm, church, Joplin, Starbucks, a soccer field, a bathroom, a restaurant, a friend's house.
There are a lot of places like home. And each place remarkably reminds me of a different dimension of home.
The comfort of Starbucks, the community of the dorm, the familiarity of Joplin, there is a part of Home everywhere.
There are a lot of places that resemble home.

But don't be fooled. There is only one home.
There may be a lot of posers, but the real deal is only in one place.
No matter how familiar you feel, or the company you are with, or the similarity of the town,
it doesn't compare to your roots.
Home is a simple crossword puzzle and knowing the TV channels. Home is the sounds of the door and the smell of a meal. Home is the warmth of a bed and the voices of family.
Home is the intangibles that just aren't the same anywhere else.
And its good to be home.
