Here she is the day I brought her home. There’s a lot to be done to make her a home and a place that is unique and welcoming, but I’m ready.
She doesn’t have a name yet, but I know it will come.
A 2002 Fleetwood Triumph who I am starting to transform into my sanctuary. A place of peace and rest, surrounded by trees and a view toward the ocean. She looks like a typical RV on the inside now, but before too long, she will be my home.
It’s been a long time since I’ve touched this space. One event after another keeping me occupied elsewhere, a lack in confidence, my mother dying, friends dying, COVID… all things that typically push me to write but I refused and kept everything inside.
I continue to move toward a more minimalist lifestyle so I’m renovating an old RV. Nope, never done that before but there’s a first time for everything. I’ll probably create a new blog for updates on that.
A proud moment is being a part of a new book coming out soon. More to come on that!
I’ve missed this place and all of you out here.
Two souls
never quite able
to split apart
It’s been years
since they’ve spoken
Her mind often
wandering to what once was
Her heart aching
for something so special, lost
That connection
that made her whole
Buried by
passing years…
Just how bad
did it have to get
before you wished
her dead…
Feeling this today, thought it was worth a repeat…
He called her dirt
more often than not.
Intent on crushing
an already broken spirit.
Twisting his savagery
she breathed new meaning.
Dirt she was,
full of living things.
Without which
nothing could grow.
Able to give birth
to new life in time.
That from which God
molded and shaped her.
That to which
she would one day return.
REAL... RAW... HOPE...
- RV on the outside. Sanctuary on the inside.
