reposting "My House"

I love my little house
I creep back here like a mouse
when life is hard
But mostly I exalt
in its encompassing gestalt
of love

I have been accused of being agoraphobic, since I sometimes don't leave my house for days. My response is usually, "Where am I supposed to go?" You captured that sense of safety in familiarity. Best, Ronda

oh yes, add agoraphobia to the list

I got a shock recently when I caught a bus and found a 3 week old ticket. I had not gone further than walking distance from my home in that long! cheers, Jess
