The closest thing to a church or a sacred space I've ever had is probably one of three places: my backyard, my house and my local public library. It might sound crazy, but those really are the favorite and safest places of my life. And it's funny.....I didn't even realize how much the library meant to me until recently. I've been lucky enough to live in the same town and going to the same library all my life. I remember my uncle taking my big sister and me to get library cards. I was probably about seven. I remember the first book I checked out: Robert the Rose Horse. Since then I've studied there, worked on term papers, gone to book sales, taken my son there, had quiet time, and maybe even cried there a time or too. I remember once asking a guy I met on Bumble to meet me there for our first date. I thought it would be cute to say we met at the library. It didn't work out, but I still remember that date and the meet...
I've got a lot of thoughts.....I've got a lot of plans
