I am looking at preparing over the next couple of years to hit the road. I have many reasons and see it as a way out and a way in. I think less about constant movement and more about a Winter spot and a Summer spot. I like the thought of travelling with other women; of embracing solitude and community; of living with less and being more; of stripping things down to the bone and getting clear. It may be more of a challenge for me because of my age and some physical limitations, but I think preparation is key. "I want a shot at redemption. I don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard." If I stay here in Portland, I could end up imprisoned in a tiny efficiency studio looking out my window and grieving until I die. I wanna live right in my life and feel it. I want to be around other people who want to strip away things that don't matter and be quiet with myself and open to others and experience something that looks very different from being rooted in poverty. I want to give my poverty wings and write my own ending: There.
