I read this and my own breathing slowed and deepened. I think Bean has nailed it in her comment -- you have a connectivity to your home because you have put so much of you into creating it. I know how you feel. Our house sits on a half-acre corner lot in a 60-year-old development of just four country roads crisscrossing. Folks drive back here only if it's their destination -- the short roads in, dead-end. But our home sits nestled among old trees, lovingly created perennial beds in front side and back, giving it a bit of a foresty-feel in the summer. From anywhere I sit on the inside, I look through large windows (little panes)and see trees, other homes off a ways. It's cozy. It invites me and embraces me. I want to move, but I want to take my "home" with me. This is a beautiful post! Barb Hi Deb.

We really love it out here. Tonight I was riding my horse bareback as the sun started setting, so peaceful. Thanks, Pete. We really love it out here.

It is the haven that you have created for your family of humans and animals. It sounds like the breathing is in the creation, nurturing and savoring of this haven you have created.

Yes, you obviously do understand how I feel about my home on my farm. I waited 25 years for this place and now it's like I never lived in the city. Thank you, Viki.

I don't commute to the city for work like you do (I work at home). But I have errand days when I have to spend most of the day in the big city of Denver, surrounded by traffic congestion, smog and crabby people. I'm always anxious to get back to the peaceful, safe haven of my mountain home where I can breathe again. ;) Deb, This is very well written and something I can relate well to.
