My home is more than just a place I live; it's a shared space. I don't consider myself the “owner”, except for the physical structure. Beyond my front door, it's all part of a vibrant community – trees, plants, birds, wildlife, bugs.

This community was here before me, and has equal (perhaps, greater) rights to this space, which is their HOME. Ultimately, I see myself as a steward, and one who is always honored to share this space with these marvelous, wild neighbors.
