Things to do at home
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Voluntary homelessness for me means packing a small suitcase with jeans, sweaters, boots, and three or four soul-nurturing books. I’m not going to live in the park or in my car. But I am going to experiment with my life, live close to my granddaughter, and see what happens. Vacating the space that has held my hopes for so long, I’m going to transform those hopes into a more solid reality than a physical home could ever be.
A bumper sticker tells me, IF YOU LIVED IN YOUR HEART, YOU’D BE HOME NOW. I believe that. With the wings of the Almighty as shelter, I am taking flight, rising above what I thought I wanted, to a brand-new vision of home.
