DC dispatch

 What DC taught me

I am strong. I’m resilient. In a week I walked about 30 miles. I rode public transit. I let people help me. I accepted the kindness of others. I sought to love others. I sought to love myself. I asked questions even if I felt stupid doing it. I loved getting to know people. Every day was a possibility for a story. For the first time, each day I was writing my own. I sought God in nature daily. I enjoyed being anonymous. 

In Your presence 

I’m well known

When the world

Outside

Knows not 

My name

Writing my story

With each breathe

I take in

And promptly

Release
