Today there was no sudden epiphany on the life we’re living.
\nNo wonderful words of wisdom.<\/p>\n
The sun was shining.\u00a0 I was standing in the chicken yard
\nthrowing dried corn at them. Everyone else was busy with
\nthe chores of the day. Mainly getting to some storage
\nstuff we have yet to touch. We are barely settled into our
\nroadside motel rooms. The essentials came first. Planting
\nfood, etc.<\/p>\n
So I was standing in the sunlight. Surrounded by chickens.
\nI have never felt so alone in my life.<\/p>\n
In the before. When you found yourself alone you really weren’t.
\nSomeone, somewhere knew where you were. Or where you’d
\nbe. Someone. Even if they didn’t know exactly where you stood.
\nSomeone could at least pinpoint the country you were in.<\/p>\n
Now. There IS no one to know where you are. And I was thinking
\nabout this. Surrounded by stinky chickens. And all I wanted to
\ndo was scream, “I’m STILL HERE!!! I’m STILL HERE!!!”<\/p>\n
