Cozy and Comfortable

"When I'm home, I like a cozy 

comfortable, calming space."

Stacy Keibler

There are a variety of definitions for home spanning from tent to house boat.  Homes can be brownstones, colonials, mansions, cookie cutters and cracker boxes.  If we are very materialistic our lists for 'must have's' could be quite pricey.  What is considered a bachelor's pad might have very slim pickings.  

Feeling at home usually means we are comfortable in our surroundings.  We feel safe physically and emotionally, and we are fed and nurtured.  We anticipate consistent expectations, and we know the language or cultural practices.  It is a place to rest and rejuvenate.  

Giving the word home a deeper meaning, we find ourselves in a more spiritual realm.  The yearning to return home can be the desire to leave the physical dimensions.  Home might be a meditative state or place of contemplation.  For some the sense is felt only on water, mountains, or flying in space.  For me, home is a warm spot in my heart where I can truly be free.
