In our heart we have many homes. The childhood one, the dream house and the home-where we hang our hat. I have lived in many places-but my heart's home is in nature. Home is on a bench where I rest my mind listening to the river talk, as I gather the falling stars in my day. Home stands tall and sacred-like the tall oak in my back yard. I am reminded to ground my roots, as the branches and leaves of this majestic tree opens its arms towards the beloved sun. Golden locks of light playful fall from the quilted blue or gray sky as the tree's limbs sway with the wind, while worshiping the sun's love. Home is where the ocean drums a song of enchantment, or a soothing lullaby or where you linger to hear the best of Tchaikovsky or the calmness of Chopin's Prelude No. 4
Where does your heart live? Does it have a special tree, bench, place where in solitude you can gather moss, find and collect an apothecary of stars and honor you and your heart?
Home is where we honor our spirit's path-comfort our heads and hearts, laugh, cry, rest, work and play-while we release the burdens of our world.
"Home is where the heart is."
-Pliny the Elder

Alex-Yes, so true! We need that-to remain whole in spirit~
Well said~
Natalie-Thank you! WE do need to go visit our solitude, when we get the chance~
I love being outside. I love an endless horizon. I love the trees, the ocean waves, but I also love the colors and sounds too!
But yes, home is where the heart is, nothing makes me smile broader than sitting around the dinner table with my hubby and sons. I makes my heart expand with love! :)
I, too love the colors and the sounds and the joy each season brings~
I especially love night walks with my family-holding hands and sharing our hearts as we glance at the Big and small Dippers, Orion's Belt and Cassiopeia. Yes, your words make my heart smile~
Today I choose your park bench by the river as home.
