I Have Settled Back Into the Comfortable

I have settled back into the comfortable. 

I am back at home, working the normal routine of my daily life.

Stories don’t come as easily here in the real world.

I look deeper and beneath the layers I rediscover the dearness of everyday simplicity.

It is after all, the time and ordinary happenings of the everyday that make up the sum of our lives.

No there isn’t a waterfront view from my back porch, and no my back porch is not a balcony.

My back porch is the space between my living and the garden.

It has a warm breeze thrown by ceiling fan and is awash in the fragrance of someone’s blooming sweet olive bush nearby.

I take in the familiar and search deeper beneath the layers.

Here I am happy.

I am at home.
