"Home" has seldom meant so much.

       
       The most touching thing said tonight on the Academy Awards was during the acceptance speech for best lead actress in a film.

       Julianne Moore said several very good things including that people who have Alzheimer's Disease "need to be seen" so that "we can find a cure."  But I speak of what she said to her husband at the end:  "I thank you for giving me a home."

       It was very simple, but somehow replete with meaning.  What might have been questioned in several ways . . . "You're thanking him for giving you a house to live in?"  "Wait, he can't just give you a home, you have to contribute to that; don't you make a home together?" . . .

       All that seemed to dissolve in the openness, directness, and sense of fulfillment that enveloped it.
