Sunita Williams Homecoming
My home is not made of spacecraft. My heart is not made of fear. My soul is not made of isolation. No, my home is a resilient capsule that no one can breach. I am there whenever I am weightless. I am there whenever I am problem-solving. I will be there whenever I return. Yes, you can enter. But first repeat after me: My heart is not made of fear. My soul is not made of isolation. My home is not made of mission control. My heart is not made of steel. My soul is not made of duty. No, my home is a boundless orbit that no one can contain. I am there whenever I am adapting. I am there whenever I am repairing. I am there whenever I am observing. Yes, you can enter. But first repeat after me: My heart is not made of steel. My soul is not made of duty. My home is not made of Earth. My heart is not made of gravity. My soul is not made of limitation. No, my home is a celestial journey that no one can diminish. I am there whenever I am floating. I am there whenever I am persevering. I am there whenever I am discovering. Yes, you can enter. But first repeat after me: My heart is not made of gravity. My soul is not made of limitation. My home is not made of splashdown. My heart is not made of triumph. My soul is not made of completion. No, my home is an eternal exploration that no one can halt. I am there whenever I am resilient. I am there whenever I am courageous. I am there whenever I am transcending. Yes, you can enter. But first repeat after me: My heart is not made of triumph. My soul is not made of completion (Sunita Williams Homecoming on March 19, 2025)
