Home sweet home.
When home is what it should be it evokes a feeling of calm and love. Home is where we are safe and there is acceptance and belonging. A welcome invitation is extended 365 days a year no matter where you are. Home doesn't have to be where you grew up, and I'm open to the idea that it doesn't have to be a physical place, it can be wherever that place of love, acceptance and belonging is. Perhaps there is more than one such place too? When I look into the deep light-blue eyes of Erica M., I'm immediately reminded of the translucent blue-green Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone National Park. I'll never forget seeing that wonder of earth in person. For reasons unbeknownst to me, Yellowstone makes me think of home, even though my "home-town" is Denver, Colorado. In short, Erica's translucent blue eyes evoke sentiments of home sweet home--love, acceptance and belonging. Erica is very kind and easy to get along with, and she's a veteran police officer in a major city in Florida. Washington DC, 20 November 2016.
