This Is Home

Home is a place that lives inside us

A state of being

However lasting or fleeting it might be

It's not just a place, or people, or a sense of belonging or comfort and security

It exists beyond that in those moments you experience where you breath in, "Awe, I'm here. Just where I wanna be."

In those perfect little moments where all is right with the world

You're just there, fully present

And there isn't anywhere else you'd rather be

Whether be watching fireworks on warm summers evening or nestled in bed in the arms of a loved one on a cold winter's night

Wherever you find a warmth on the inside

Softly kindling the fireplace in your soul

That special spot you found on a hike

Just the right music on a long drive

The vast and clear starry night sky on the dock by the lake

In front of the soft light of your favorite show

A plate of good food paired with a fine drink

All the best memories come and gone

Everlasting but out of sight

We are here

This is home.
