"Go Home"

You would be amazed at how many 'well wishing' people bleat this out to me after opening a conversation and trying to probe out where I am from, and in their motive they are really just trying to figure out where they think I belong. Walking the earth with a well filled frame pack designed for hiking seems to bring this effect on. All the years I traveled with only an ordinary backpack I never experienced this phenomenon. Perhaps it is due to the fact that since the pack is bigger, that I am or have already traveled farther.

The conversation always begins with "where are you headed" and winds down to "where are you from" before the person feels ready to throw out their version of helpful advice by saying "go home" and then leaving abruptly, every time. It is interesting to go through this exact same pattern with so many people, mainly because the only answer I give to people is that 'I am headed' to wherever I desire to go as the Lord is leading me, and to the follow up question 'I am from The Kingdom of Heaven'. Now if there were some logical geographic location from which I came, where there was also family who cared and missed me, well then the advise would make since. But obviously.....

I am always left wondering if the person is a believer at all, or maybe just not listening as my answers do not compute in their brains, with people naturally opting to hear what they want to hear all the time anyway, (myself included). So what better way is there to handle this repetitive useless conversation? I am seeking a way to use it here, of course always in furtherance of the Kingdom's establishment here on good ole tera firma. But the question is, if these people are such well wishers why aren't they interested in where home really is for me? They never ask, and they always run away. Which makes them full of shit in my opinion, but to continually hear the same conversation pattern out of so many people of course makes me stop to address the issue.

For one thing people, I am already home. This entire earth is my personal inheritance and wherever you see me, I am doing my part to be in harmony with our God and to live the full life of promise he gives us. I love the freedom that comes with obedience to Yehowah even if that means I appear to be homeless, dirty, or somehow unworthy of your life. Quite the opposite is true. Having delivered myself over to Him as Shepherd, Friend, Protecter, and Guide I look forward to living in a world filled with people who reflect the same qualities you see in myself. We are already home. So if you see me outside of your personal comfort zone, well then, it's you who needs to "go home". Thanks assholes.
