I have a friend

And this friend needed to sublet a room in her house for the month of April.

And so we worked out an arrangement.

And for at least a month longer, I’ll have a roof over my head.

The hunt for permanent stability continues, but this is the cycle. Piece by piece, build it where you can, hop from space to space, find what peace is offered, and hold on til you must leap to the next place.

  1. “Permanent stability” – something real, or a consumerism-fostered ideal? While I take nothing away from the difficulty of your circumstances, applauding your courage and perseverance, your words and situation make me think, and in the best ways. Having recently traded my own facsimile of the American dream for something far more tenuous and less “shiny” to most (as you know), I look askew at such notions as anything in this world being permanent and stable, and question them from the depths of my being.

    I don’t mean this to be as morose as i’m sure it sounds, but everything in this life is fleeting, flickering and fading before our very eyes. I don’t consider that fact something to be lamented, but rather to be celebrated. It makes me want to be more alert, aware, present and grateful – as well it should.

    I salute you, friend, as you continue to dance on the edge of the knife – bravo. :)

  2. I’m glad you have another month of shelter! Friends are a blessing, yea?

  3. This makes me really happy!
    One step at a time…you’re doing it! :-)
    HUGS!
