REMEMBER HOME
Turn back towards God
Loneliness, panic, sadness, disconnection
Any sufferings
Are not punishments
They are guides
Pointing you back towards God
Towards love, towards family
How lonely Pluto must be
So far out in the darkness and cold
With only an almost imperceptible sensation of gravity calling him in
Until he remembers
And turns his face back towards the sun
To feel warmth
And to again, remember home
