From My Front Porch

Porches, attached decks, patios, intimate places for alfresco, These make a difference between a fortressed house and a transparent home, between an ego castle and an eco-habitat. We also spread rhododendron bushes and hostas, flowers and ferns around our stone and concrete bound foundations. We want stable defenses but prefer to camouflage houses in organic color, life giving and taking shapes. These boundary vistas speak of heart felt reminders our habitat is rooted in Earth's wilderness In vulnerability hidden from transparency except with those who share our sacred space inside and upon, within our co-passioned present time, Presence bonding, double-binding, re-membering past wildness anticipating future re-generative re-storative re-habituating re-acclimating re-bounding win/lose less for more win/win paradise Just barely 2020 visible and silently audible and fresco fragranced and tasted, felt and so nearly touched longing into belonging on our cooperatively-owned front porch.
