The fox was rumbled,
ground moved from under his feet,
he's looking for home!
Coming back from hospital in the dark
we were confronted by a fox
on our bridge in the headlights.
This is unusual for they usually stay in the woods
a good way behind the house,
now a new landscape is being formed
making way for the pond
his habitat has been disturbed.
What does home mean to you?
I think of Joe Spadoman returning
home from hospital, how comforting
home must feel for him today!
Recently my married son said of home:
"home is wherever Karen and Isla (dog) are,
whether that's at my house
or in the back of my camper van".
This was lovely to hear
from my youngest son,
baby of the family now a man
honouring his wife in this way!
Then there is the 'home' we have
made here on-line, it feels just like going home
returning week upon week
to the familiar to say hello to everyone,
knowing it is a place to just be,
a place of acceptance and love.
They say 'home is where the heart is',
I must say there is plenty of heart here!

how fitting you would include a fox in welcoming our joe home. after all he affectionately calls you foxysue!
i love that you are reflecting on the deep comfort of a home, and how we create homes for our souls in the hearts of those we love.
today i am sitting in the bright comfort of knowing joe is home with his family and here with us. i am grateful for the depth of caring shared by all those who open their hearts in courage and give willingly to others.
today i am also deeply happy to welcome charlotte to haiku my heart. and so the circle grows!
It was lovely to meet your Charlotte today too.
Much love and light to you, Lovely One !
home to me is a place of grounding. a specific Land.

I feel such comfort in seeing images of your home and your homeland. You experienced an important homecoming too and I am so glad for you. I am glad for your comfort, glad for your daughter's presence and safety, happy for Joe's homecoming and happy we are all connected in heart and hearth.

You are welcome to a cuddle from the bog boy! He's lovely, isn't he? Lol!
I expect most of the wildlife will watch with interest as the "pond" becomes a small lake and their habitat undergoes change.
I love what your son said - so true! I have lived all over Europe with Nick and our daughter, since she was little and it didn't matter at all where we lived. My home is wherever he/they are, and always will be. =)
Have a great weekend!
