Home is Where the Crab Is

hermit crab

 

i want to

carry my

house on my

sleeve like a

hermit crab

picking my

way over sharp

obstacles

determined

to always

be at home

    Hermit crabs are fascinating. So many life lessons to be found on the seashore. I think you may appreciate this passage from one of my all time favourite books http://www.spiritsite.com/writing/annlin/part3.shtml

  3. Must be my cancer star sign but I too loved this. Beautiful expression. Almost made me think of writing a follow-on. Almost I add quckly before you push me πŸ˜€ Still, maybe ….

    That’s nice & all. But right now I’d rather be a bird that flies south for the winter – LOL πŸ˜‰

  5. If only moving house was that easy. Or maybe we carry too much stuff around with us and a nice empty shell is what we need to keep things moving nicely along. Happy New Year Melody.

      Ha! Trust you to put a twist on things. Interesting thoughts – I am uncomfortably aware of the baggage I have been carrying, and am in the difficult phase of housecleaning these days, so I sure get where you’re coming from. Hmmm. Maybe we need a sequel crab…. πŸ˜‰

    There is something very sweet and prayerful about this! Thank you, Melody!
