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.

The last leg of the family is driving in from Louisiana.

Little Feat singing to me and I notice the boat parade is rolling this evening.

Much needed family time.

Little feet will be running on the tile floors tonight.

Missing the old man.

…On his way.

Clean soft cotton sheets on each luxurious bed.

Fluffed pillows and dusted end tables.

Clean towels and good smelling hand soap.

Prime rib in the oven

Red wine chillen.

Sunset paints the backdrop.
