I know what Thomas Wolfe said. In the static sense of returning to an already passed point in space and time, he is correct. But the process paradigm puts an existential twist on just what “home” is. Admittedly, as our plans to return to Colorado in the next year or so have taken on a more definitive shape, it has given rise to thinking about whence we came. To a theological worldview, however, that is but a step away from contextualizing the ultimate. We are all, then, going home.
It is in this spirit that I look forward to probing further just what “home” means. It will be a journey of retrospect and prospect converging in the fleetingly elusive now, and of trying—in exemplary Socratic fashion—to make sense of it all. I thank you in advance, dear reader, for your company along the way.
