Comfort

What can be said of comfort? It is found in the most unlikely places.
It is not in the shopping bag that we have brought back from the mall, or in the shiny car in the garage. It is not in the sudden splurge to excess.
Comfort is found in the ordinary.

From My Porch
You are a forest, street trees I know,
For in these winds that through you blow
You are a forest deep and deep.
It is not that I am putting my senses to sleep,
It’s just that I need a forest so.”
~ Sada Applebaum
