I was immediately struck by this song. I live far away from my family and often find myself longing for home. The longing for my spiritual home is similar. Just like how we can never actually go back to our childhood, we can't go back to our spiritual home in the same state that we left it. We return to Eden no longer innocent but with knowledge. Paradoxically, this makes our return to our spiritual home even more meaningful as we have some understanding of the grace required for our return.
