i say goodbye to the rickety toyota. and that's it. packing done. rental house returned. cars disposed of. accounts closed. bills paid. sailing permit obtained. tickets bought.
our goodbyes are said. i am suspended between then and now and after. my memories are of here but my heart wings its way to there. there is a home to rebuild. car to acquire. new job to go to. accounts to set up. new ways to figure out.
unless the Lord builds the house, the psalmist says, the builders labor in vain. so hath the Lord built these six odd years into a strange edifice of joys and sorrows riches pains and wonders, and many times in spite of the blundering workers. this structure, i think, is complete now. my heart is full.
