Home

Home is peace, freedom, and safety

Home is a hot cup of black hazelnut coffee

Home is a hot cup of rare aged Chinese tea from a Bhuddist monk

Home is a hot bowl of creamy soup

Home is rooms of shelves filled with books

Home is reading books slowly sipping a large glass of red wine

Home is dumplings and shumai

Home is my old puppy, still excited to see me

Home is my family, chaotic chattering in Chinese, making food and shopping

Home is my partner’s hug, every night and every morning

Home is safety in these places, with these people

Home is the freedom to be creative

Home is the peace that comes from not struggling to survive the day

Home is where the heart is
