I am driving home from an extended visit with my children.
Ten days turned into a month.
Returning to Arizona from Oregon.
I have mixed feelings as Covid-19 surges in Arizona.
It feels like walking into a burning house.
Why would I expose myself to such danger
When I have an open loving invitation to stay with my children?
Even though home is a feeling and not just a place,
It is also a place.
My things are there.
My favorite place to sit and watch the desert.
My rocking chair.
My favorite evening walk through the desert.
I can be completely at ease in my home.
Time spent with my children is also home.
So I have two homes?
I guess that is reasonable.
Hunter gatherers wandered,
Following the herds and the berries.
To find food.
Maybe wandering is in my blood.
Snowbirds these days have winter homes and summer homes.
Migrating from place to place, for optimal temperature.
Like birds.
In these days of uncertainty, the best I can do is make a decision based on what is in this moment. And then adjust if it all parameters change a few moments from now. Here is a video I made on this topic last week.
