i have been in Arkansas..Tennessee..Indiana..Ohio..Pennsylvania..Texas..California..Colorado..Minnesota..Paris..New York..Vermont..Illinois..Michigan..D.C. ..Virginia..West Virginia..Florida..Georgia..Arizona..Quebec..Ontario..Maine..Massachusetts..Maryland..the outer reaches of Hell..St. Thomas..Nebraska..Kansas…Missouri..Psych-wards…churches…taverns…temples..all over…
without maps…directions…no globe…nor Atlas…nothing…just movement…always moving…
to what…another chance…always another chance…even when chances were slim…
the constant search for faith..love…shelter..a soul mate..peace…
and this is what eludes us…a peace…found in jesus..Buddha…the teachings of St. Thomas…grains of sand turned upside down…a child’s birthday…not much is required…
so we say goodbyes…bus tickets bought…book-bags stuffed…leaving yet again…and probably again…
looking for nothing more than a voice…this barely audible voice that wants to yell-out…
HELP…HELP…
yet help will not be found…cannot be found…because all was searched…backtracked…gone- over..time and time again…
..never within…never within…
