Description
I froze.It was not guilt that froze me. I had taught myself never to feel guilt.
It was not a ghastly sense of loss that froze me. I had taught myself to covet nothing.
It was not a loathing of death that froze me. I had taught myself to think of death as a friend.
It was not heartbroken rage against injustice that froze me.
I had taught myself that a human being might as well look for diamond tiaras in the gutter
as for rewards and punishments that were fair.
It was not the thought that I was so unloved that froze me. I had taught myself to do without love.
It was not the thought that God was cruel that froze me. I had taught myself never to expect anything from Him.
What froze me was the fact that I had absolutely no reason to move in any direction.

It's a bit of a love song, but the song is right- "Home is where your heart is set in stone, where you go when you're alone, it's where you go to rest your bones- its not just where you lay your head, not just where you make your bed...~~...Home"
