Dear Elizabeth,

Depends on the definition of 'home', I suppose... Nisargadatta asked

questioners " What was your state 6 months before you were conceived "

(paraphrase, not sure about the 6 month figure), others have

inquired " What was my original face before I was born " (a Zen koan,

if I'm not mistaken).

I think Jerry chose the world 'children' to connote either innocence,

or to give more of a feeling of 'lostness' to his use of the phrase '

we are all lost children'.

 

Namaste,
