Think about what it means. Materialism to family; working the nine to five. Fighting tooth and nail for benefits without the benefit of considering the balance betwixt family and business. We all thrive to work hard, compete sometimes even; over who is the hardest. Circle depending, words written; aren't utterly extended with no sustenance. Experience, from mistakes both in home and the biological processes, work force and just general living. What it takes to be a sibling, father, son, brother, cousin, lover, fighter, amateur scientist, musician, writer, handyman, former business owner. It takes a work-home equilibrium. Knowledge of the cerebellum, the analyzing patterns of the behavior that only works. If you know thy self, and climb the broad spectrum of all there is in being human. Physical,mental,emotional, spiritual, multi-cultural generational transcendence of stupendous amounts of how-to's. Drive to learn, well enough, to set healthy boundaries. Research until the search humbles you until zen. Willingly, consciousness- humility to alleviate the pretentious, precarious, pragmatic, problems, python, precisely, pinch points. Pin plots proscribed punctually to cite thoughts counter-productive to one's state of being. What's all these words and worth reading, when idea isn't even articulated clearly?

Build-up, foundation inset rebar. Laid with plumbing and power; sewer ran. Putting in the blood sweat and tears; multi-tasking juggling work, well-being, family, friends, education, politics both socially to country micro then marco. Whilst continuing allegory you forge the frame with trust, good and bad experiences. The particle board connects frame ends. All about the support, rigidity, moral strength. Its creates a strong exterior with tough sacrifices and diligent work in all areas that matter. The siding and tar paper; shingles and insulation. These essentials are all about protecting those you grew up with some you may hate outright. Some you may die for without a second thought.All the thoughts and feelings in correlation made good, indifferent, bad. The warmth comes from tough to kind love with respect given to the self. By projection aimed outward at everyone else. The insulation in house, not attic-filled with all the heartbreak to real life tragic, loved one loss. I don't follow? Because that's when, the drywall, tape, and mud, sandpaper most importantly electric wiring sourced. Huh? Patience I'm spelling it out. This is when most need that extra thermal energy. Form of embrace, console, muck fling of insults if that is how family may cope. All the rivalry and fights are the material furnishing. Mainly because such things come and go.

Home is a blessing and a curse; yet we forget continually juggling. It is what we make it. Home isn't material it's the people that stole your heart. Tried to return it because they needed the money life struggles. Chores done for other's in respecting such a humble abode. Teaching character, and work ethic. See even with the level of sophistication of writing dynamics the home couldn't function without the construct of trial and tribulation. Lies and deceit; are part of the whole James the Giant peach. Meaning without the elements of gritty reality. It's all just child-like imagination. So even if you do actually have family you hate. How would you know who to love? How would would you build up such a home? If the lessons weren't there and even if you are broke and can't afford to pay attention to this poem. Long as you got each other and if loss creeps in? Then the next session does begin. Picture used, nay infused. Clarity called, I picked up to choose this image because we finite being's dream larger then the span of existence. So don't let distance, disagreement squash, squander, or like the picture above be ran over this go round isn't a round-about. No detour, if you don't forgive and forget. Then move on with memories of greatest hits, to enraptured by failure's that never captured the light of day. Enable thee to set aside petty difference's, dealing with interpersonal grievances.

What is Home? It's what you make it, and where, but also with whom. Family doesn't imply blood relation, though just cause you bond better with others. Doesn't mean one shouldn't take the time. Disarm grudges or deal with others opinions despite your own. Sign of the greatest maturity is fervently voicing what's you, the believed in so if only just who. So to sitting eye to eye sharing wisdom of any and all kinds. Not demoting conversation; personal attacks or character picks. Only creative misdirect to conceal the lack of topic relevant information. Cast a bygone to be well, bye! Gone!
