Homecoming is a single word, and we use it to describe a single event. But true homecoming requires more time. It seems to be a process rather than a moment. Perhaps we come home the way the earth comes home to the sun. It could be that homecoming is always a return and our understanding of home deepens with each encounter. Christie Purifoy
About This Quote

The way a thing or a person comes home is a metaphor for finding a place to be at home. If you have a home, it's easy to know what "home" means. But you can have a home that doesn't feel like home. And the only way to really find your "home" is to find your own way of coming home.
