Made it safely back to Boston, and cried most of the way. No, not because I was overwhelmed with sadness to leave Lubbock. (though there was a little bit of that in saying goodbye to my parents and the home I've known for 15 years, as always). No, I blame these tears on one of the best books I've read in a really long time. In fact, I'd say this book ranks right behind "A Severe Mercy" by Sheldon Van Auken, my favorite book, ever.
The book is called "Same Kind of Different as Me" by Ron Hall and Denver Moore.
I can't get the last line of the book out of my head:
"The truth about it is, whether we is rich or poor or somethin in between, this earth ain't no final restin place. So in a way, we is all homeless--just workin our way toward home."
