Strange Fraternity

I had to go out of town for the day, and on the way back passed an auto accident where someone may have been killed.

I was grateful to get home, where the view out the window seemed welcoming.  Isn’t it strange that a collection of lights and shapes near and far can stand for coziness, for something reassuring?  I guess I respond to the orderliness of the scene and the signs of so many people being at home.
