Wednesday, August 20, 2014. Tonight the sky is like a pink sea, a dusky blue wrapped in a single, endless cloud the velvet color of a blushing peach. As is usual when inspiration strikes me, I am alone, on my apartment balcony, cradling coffee to soothe the dull ache in my temples, my bible on my knees. The silence, outdoors, is less deafening, more embracing. Because the comfort I long for cannot be manmade. Hold out my arms and let it wrap me up.

Speeding north on I-95 in fading light, radio tuned to 101. Just a canvas tote in the passenger seat, a shirt and pair of jeans, toothbrush and a laptop. An old Bible shoved in the front pocket for good measure. Morning comes and I brush my teeth, handing over my room key by 7am.
