In this mini-episode of Soul Led Creative Women, Sam Horton reads an original poem taken from a personal reflective creative moment of her every day life.
This one is titled "No Place Like Home"
And asks the question:
What does “home” feel like inside your body, and how can you return to that feeling when the world feels too much?
Sam says: The poem explores what it feels like to be rooted in that space, where breath slows, colours soothe, and we can hear ourselves again. It’s not about escaping life, but about finding a way to come home to ourselves within it.
Take care,
Sam x

Ep 70: No Place Like Home
[00:00:00]
Sam here. This is a bonus mini episode featuring one of my substack poems. this episode is only a few minutes long, but I hope it brightens your day in some way.
this poem. No place like home is about that safe inner space we can return to when the world feels too fast. Too loud, or just too much. It was inspired by the idea of a protective bubble. I can travel in like Glinda, the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz. Um, yes, I have recently watched Wicked, um, something soft and strong that carries us gently through the chaos.
the poem explores what it feels like to be rooted in that space where breath slows colors soothe, and we can hear ourselves again. It's not about escaping life, but about finding a way to come home to ourselves within it. At the heart of this poem is a feeling of remembering. Remembering who we [00:01:00] are beneath the noise and what helps us feel safe, grounded, and whole.
It's a gentle nudge that we don't have to go looking outside for peace or clarity. We already have a kind of sanctuary inside us, a place we can return to anytime we need to reconnect because truly there is no place like home. So as you're listening to the poem, I invite you to reflect what does home feel like inside your body, and how can you return to that feeling when the world feels too much.
Now for the poem, enjoy.
no place like home.
There's a softness I return to when the world begins to blur a peace within the madness that invites my soul to stir a bubble I've created with the shimmer of my truth [00:02:00] filled with glorious wild flowers blooming. Since my youth, I wrap myself in floral color. Not like camouflage or cover, but like a luscious velvet fur coat.
like soul symbols that hover
outside the world, can race battle blind and gnaw at grace. Inside the air is greenhouse warm, not hot, but humid. A cozy balm. This sacred space is not escape, but my soul's return to its true shape. My body's ache for what it had known. The quiet knowing. There's no place like home. Hey, Sam here.
