Family Quote by Gina Lake
““We look for the sense of being Home in a physical home, in a family, in a lover. But unless we can experience it in the still moments of our life, no house, family, lover, or anything else will ever satisfy our longing for Home. The feeling of being Home is never found by doing, going somewhere, having things, or thinking, but by simply stopping and just being long enough to let ourselves feel that we are Home. Our longing for Home can call it forth. Know Home, value it, and you will have it. The most precious attainment is right here in Stillness and in just being.””

The ego enjoys so little because it commits attention to what isn't present and to what it doesn't have, and suffers over that, instead of…” quote by Gina Lake](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e98/gina-lake-20210_desire_essence-simply-enjoys-and-commits-attent_1977160.jpg)
