HOME AMONG THE BRANCHES is a phrase that describes the feeling of being safe and secure in one's HOME. The term can be broken down into two parts: 'HOME' and 'among the branches'. The first part, 'HOME', is a four-letter word, 'NEST'. A NEST is a structure built by birds to provide a safe place for them to lay their eggs and raise their young. It is a symbol of safety and security, which is what the phrase HOME AMONG THE BRANCHES is meant to evoke.
