"Shelter is a necessity of life, it is what surrounds us and keeps us safe. It is the trees that stand tall and keep us safe from the very worst of storms."
Wherever you go, there is a place filled with a feeling.
A feeling of hope, despair, love or maybe even joy.
The feelings places carry with them most often go unnoticed-
unless they are loud, overwhelming, surprising...
My home, a place most dear to me, was filled with so much feeling this evening.
Feelings of sadness, feelings associated to everything good laughter brings...a feeling of blissful childhood; finding flashlights in the summer storm.
Sometimes, feelings inside these places swell from the people in them.
Those feelings can't help but seep into everyone within that place.
Before we know it, all our faces are red. And our throats are all scratchy.
Our hearts are sad for the feelings in our home,
and in the homes of our friends scattered, feeling...
across this great big continent.
And here we are all, somehow, in the same place.
Feeling together.
