out and about in my hometown.

********

i've been elsewhere since mid-november. 

and since i know it never works for me to try to figure it out

i just rolled with it. 

work and groceries have been the only reasons for me to hit the southward road. 

this evening, my heart was drawn northward. 

i hopped into the jeep and drove myself to the library, 

where i found just what my spirit needed to fill me up again: 

hugs all around. 

the city-street noise of teens making art. 

laughter. 

quiet reading in hideaway corners. 

that blue light, in and out and through. 

my soul found the songs it was seeking.

****

life is good.
