Many Mansions
Each a refuge.
Morning walk, encountered creatures, each has their home.
The fox den, the rabbit warren, the bird nest.
Each its own mansion.
❖
My own simple dwelling, with its hard bed and wood stove, its own mansion. Too, the campsite where I stop overnight on the way to a distant village, a mansion.
Perhaps a mansion is any place of refuge.

Consider:
Can I find refuge, wherever I am?
