..The search for home is related also to the longing of the flesh ...which suggests that beneath the longing to possess and be possessed by the beauty of another sexually - "to know" in the Biblical idiom - there lies the longing to know and be known by another fully and humanly, and beneath that there lies a longing, closer to the heart of the matter still, which is the longing to beat long last where you fully belong. Frederick Buechner.
