Topic: Commonness of all home

After completing the activities, can you answer the following questions? Let us know.

Where can home be?
How does home look like and feel like?
What is the commonness behind the variety?

HOME, the most universal base.
Every life, no matter it is as giant as the whale or as tiny as a bacteria,
is born from HOME.
HOME, the most fleeting but everlasting place.
Every life, no matter it is as short-lived as a moth or as long-lived as a turtle,
live in HOME.
HOME, the most identical but customized architecture.
Every life, no matter it is as great as Leonardo da Vinci or as common as you and me,
deserves HOME.
HOME, the most refreshing station.
Every life, no matter it loves to travel or is rooted deeply into a place,
recharge at HOME.
