I am making no plans
From now on, fate will carry me. I will go where the wind carries me, from one corner of the earth to the other.
No more will I be tethered to this life of time needs, meetings, appearances, must dos....I will allow the winds to carry me aloft and gently deposit me where and when they decide.
Who am I kidding?
I have lots of things scheduled this week, and this year. I really wish I could just take off for a month....travelling, visiting, sitting on a beach, going up a river.
I was born to be a traveler.
Or something else.
One of the password security questions I had to answer tonight was dream job. I entered travel writer and it was rejected! I don't even know what my dream job is!!
And when it asked my favorite elementary school teacher I entered Mr. Torres, then Torres, then Mr. Torrez. then Torrez then torres, then torrez, then I was locked out because I had too many attempts.
But Mr. Torres was my favorite elementary teacher.
He was smart, funny, young, and different. He was the first man teacher, and the first Hispanic teacher I encountered.
I said to him one day, "Mr. Torres, it's funny that it was raining on one side of the street and not the other."
He gave me an answer I keep to this day. "Well, rain has to start and stop somewhere, doesn't it?"
As a young kid, I had never thought about it.
You see, the winds guided me on this blog, taking me where they wanted to go....I had no control.
I was flying free.
