i long for home

#chill #downtempo #lofibeats #cat

“i long for home” draws you into a serene yet wistful scene, where the boundless blue sky stretches above a quiet rooftop bathed in sunlight. A lone cat perches on the edge, its silhouette framed against the openness of the sky, while a ladder leans gently against the white wall below. The simplicity of the image evokes a deep yearning, a quiet ache for a place of belonging and solace. The cat, small yet steady, becomes a symbol of resilience and longing, embodying the universal desire to find a space where one feels truly at home—a place both comforting and grounding.

The juxtaposition of the cat’s stillness and the vastness of the sky reflects the introspective journey of seeking home, not just as a physical destination but as an emotional sanctuary. The ladder, reaching toward the rooftop, suggests the effort and hope required to ascend toward that feeling of belonging. The tranquil hues and open expanse of the scene remind us that home is as much about connection and presence as it is about location. “i long for home” becomes not just a statement of desire but an invitation to reflect on the meaning of home and the courage it takes to pursue it—wherever and however it may be found.

“Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
It doesn’t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vows
A thousand times.
Come, yet again, come, come.”
— Rumi, “Come, come, whoever you are”

Rumi’s timeless words remind us that no matter how far we wander or how lost we feel, there is always a home waiting for us—be it physical, spiritual, or emotional. It speaks to the inclusiveness and forgiveness that “home” embodies.
