It's been a quiet day spent finishing laundry, prepping for a presentation and catching up with friends on social media. Weather outside the window was mixed with bits of sun, clouds and hints of wind. The cooler air will help with sleep tonight, I'm sure. After a couple of rowdy nights, the neighbourhood was quiet today.
Being in the house doing tassks that reate little if any noise was restful. The refuge of home created silent support or envelopment, which add to the feeling of security. It is interesting that home can provide that sense of peace and comfort but not when external forces abruptly intrude. Such disruptions can be tangible as with noise from outside or a breakdown within the house; they can also be emotional like when a person feels threatened or fearful within the home. Today everything seemed to line up well and I appreciated that very much.
Lyrics from a song that describes the feeling of security in a home seem best to match the type of day experienced. It is likely the lyrics refer to another person, but it could just as easily be oneself being addressed by the group. Enjoy!
