Vagabond Girl

When I was in Oklahoma, I stayed in a 10 mile radius of my house...I hated traveling and even driving...But March 16, 2018 I got in my car and started driving...I drove to Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia..spent time in Memphis, Pigeon Forge, Nashville, Arkansas, Charlette NC, Opelika, staying in hotels (thank you Hotels.com and smart phones!!) and thank God for GPS and the Waze app, Staying with friends and family in South Carolina, Holly Springs NC, Roanoke Virginia and other cities..Saw so many historical civil war memorials, toured Beale Street in Memphis, Broadway Street in Nashville, Charleston SC battery, A Presidential Library, went bowling, miniature golf, flown in a private airplane, went to the beach, saw Auburn University, played pool...even fucking sang Karaokie..!! I have gotten three tattoos in memory of my experience and met many many very cool people..AND I discovered that I like to drive, cruising through the southern states I discovered the fucking beauty, the landscapes, the history, and the awesomeness of the universe...I also connected with some friends in a new way...I opened myself up to a brand new "scary" life, that I am anxious and excited to continue to learn about...All those pictures are in the album I keep in my head, that way I won't forget my journey, I can open the pictures and remember...I wrote this...

A Vagabond Girl

A vagabond girl,
where the wind blows,
there she will go..

If the scent catches her,
there she will go...

If the voice captures her,
there she will go..

If the touch, tingles her,
there she will go..

This vagabond girl,
follow your lead,
GO...
