I have learned
Many will knock on your outer door
Invite in only those of good character
Your soul is your home, not all need to be welcomed to walk on your floor
My table feeds a bounty of goodness and kind but seats a chosen few
My company, my chosen story, only pure hearts bind me whole and new
Lack of values tossed with miss guided intentions always seem to fall disappointingly short
When people arrive with anything less than authentic, relationships are neither genuine nor true
I have learned to sit in quiet in the middle of my night
To feel uncomfortable dark and my effervescent light
In my dustiest times when I hear that metaphorical knock on the door of life
Intuition speaks of who needs to keep walking and comes with strife
I honor my home and yours alike, welcoming in only those who respect space with trusted care
My heart is precious, only love lives there

I was going to say either she start behaving or you can join her for balance of misbehavior:)

Haha. She’s only mischievous for a little bit. Nope. Cannot have two beings misbehaving under one roof.

Thought-full write Alisa and so very true. Sometimes caution can be a good rule of thumb…so to speak. Our homes, in the context of who we are, are truly a sacred space and sharing that space should be done with due consideration. I continue to enjoy your writing. Hope you are well.
