When I am content and seek nothing new
yet delight in all I see
I am at home
When the sound of my husband’s snoring
wakes me up
Merlin farts
and Little Buddy chases squirrels in his dreams
I am at home
When morning reveals cedars heavy with snow
birds are waiting for seeds
and deer cross the field
I am at home
When dishes need to be washed
closets cleaned
carpet vacuumed
and my piles of clothes sorted
(even if I ignore them)
I am at home
When a friend calls and beacons me to lunch
souls meet
laughter shared
and ideas exchanged
I am at home
When pots are trimmed
bowls painted
floors mopped
and my husband returns home with a kiss
I am at home
When I am content and seek nothing new
yet delight in all I see
I am at home
