Locked In

Lying in the pool today, looking up at the house through the palms and bushes, I wondered about the year to come. The rest of the world is, of course, fascinating. But don't let's get too far from here, and what I've achieved up until now. This view from the pool is someone elses's dream perhaps, yet real and comforting to me. No matter how far we go and what we find when we get there: this is home, the first step.
