Thuiskomen is altijd anders.
Soms is de poes dood.
Soms is er een boom omgevallen
in de achtertuin.
Soms is het koud en donker.

Maar thuiskomen is altijd thuiskomen.
Terwijl je voorzichtig plaats neemt
in de stoel die anders aanvoelt,
laait het vuur op in het glas.
De ziel beseft: het was een mooie reis.
Dit was het doel.

Coming home is always different.
Sometimes the cat is dead.
Sometimes a tree has fallen
in the backyard.
Sometimes it is cold and dark.

But coming home is always coming home.
While you take a seat carefully
in the chair that feels different,
the fire flares up in the glass.
The soul realizes: it was a beautiful journey.
This was the goal.
