Well after what has been one of the best summers of my life- I am now in NYC on Formation for Covenant House.
It has been a long road- with so many farewell wagons- to coin a Da-da from only yesterday.
I am exhausted- up at 6am to get ready to leave- got up here around 11am- said goodbye to the RENTs and discovered that I was wrong about people I was to be living with in Detroit. One of the girls that was coming with us had to back out last minute. Elizabeth- if your reading this- I hope you are well baby and I am praying for you and your family- hope all is going smoothly.
Lots of paperwork and talks and processing of information.
What I have learned so far:
Energy can sometimes be like a water wheel- the more you pour into it the more power you get in return.
There is nothing quite like the sounds of an Irish band singing sweet songs into one's head before bedtime.
Living in community is not fair- no one said it would be- think about it!
Taking time to run through fountains keeps you in your childlike joy- Washington Park cheered for us tonight.
My desire is like the moon- waxing and waning but always there.
I will have plenty of updates soon enough- but for now just know that I am alive and living!
Making time for poetry soon.
Be sure to check out my Summer Photo Album on Facebook.
My Skype name is ByllMono- look for me!
Until next time- Fairfarren.
