Day #4
He came and took her away from me today.
Granted, “he” is her father and this is “his” holiday per standard visitation. But it felt like he took a part of me and drove it six hours away. I love my current life. I am a happier, freer, and more loving person since my divorce from man and establishment.

at first…
but before long…
the leaves tickle my toes, the sunset catches my imagination, and the playful animals scurrying about make me giggle. We have real, adult conversation, and we stroll. There are no mouths to feed, no schedules to keep, and no agenda but my own. And the road just keeps walking us along.
A lot like life…
