What an interesting point about Mole’s relationship to home! When we go to the coast, I often find myself wanting to stay. And my kids do too. I have to remind all of us of the reasons going home is good!
Sometimes home can be a mixed bag. Sometimes it feels comforting. Other times it feels like a return to reality, which includes a lot of work and struggle.
I imagine that Heaven will include the best parts of home: love and comfort as well as the joyous, carefree nature of a (longed for) adventure. (Without any dragons of course!)
Isn’t it amazing to contemplate being fulfilled in Heaven? Not wanting to be somewhere else and not feeling like the longed for object falls short of expectation. Not having to choose the mountains or the sea. I recently purchased Peter Kreeft’s book on Heaven where he explores the topic. I plan to read it alongside Dante sometime next year.
