my home is an RV--a five-minute friday post



if home is where your heart is,
then my home is like an rv.

it moves
it shakes
and sometimes
it might even rattle a bit.

but oh, how it takes me places.



places far
places wide
sometimes close and near
that never leaves the confines of these walls officially called "home."

but it's always moving
always in and out
among the mountains and valleys
the terrains of the souls in which it travels.

the wonderful thing about spreading
one's heart out to
those around you
to giving and giving
and then, maybe,
giving just a bit more
yes

even when it hurts a bit

is that when the time comes
for these four gifts to spread their own wings
to make their own homes
to journey their own paths
find their own way. . .

there will be just that
many more places
for my lover & i
and our traveling hearts
to find
their home.


Five Minute Friday

wahoo, it's friday!
and this week's five-minute prompt was: HOME.
of course that brought up too many thoughts to capture in a mere five minutes.
but the most prominent: the thought that my home is wherever my family is.
hope you have a fabulous weekend, and as usual, click on the above button if you
feel like catching what others have written this week.

  2. I like your comparison to the RV — moving and shaking! Because it is not the four walls usually. It's the people inside it that make it home.

  3. Lovely. Home is indeed where our heart is. I love to travel but there's always something about turning on Cowan Rd and knowing I'm home. Or like you, traveling within the four walls.

  4. I love this! As a kid, I always thought it would be really fun to live in a RV, or at least take a RV vacation. I'd still like to, actually. But here you've shown me that I already do - life is an adventure, especially with these young people. Hope your home is filled with happiness today.
