Back to the Beginning

Blackcreek NY-July 29, 2009

Continuing  contentment 

in between 

 

 

I sit in bed in  Buffalo, beneath the same white ceiling in the dark.. computer screen glowing. But things are all different now. It was summer then- the tangle in the days as they collided together made me seek solace. One year and three months later I have been escorted back by a caring brother-(who I suspect came to visit me in Virginia only to facilitate my return). My 100 year old grandmother was the card he used... and he was right. I made it through the 10 hour drive, the chicken wings and beer and sleeping in the bedroom of pink. And today I entered my parents home, my childhood home after much careful breathing in the driveway surrounded by quiet snowfall.  A bubble of blessing and all things absurdly calm. Details to follow- I am exhausted but content- the snow that falls outside the window only serves to muffle any discord in my heart.
