Nothing Says You Have To

---

This husband and I…

Went to Gruene for lunch…the place was packed…some popular band playing at the dance hall…

Not good for relaxing…headed to a little market area…parked and started to walk…

Turned into a neighborhood…chatting while we strolled…when suddenly…things didn’t feel right…the streets were empty…

No people…no cars…no pets of any kind…felt like a movie set…turf for grass…dinosaurs on the porch…Mr Roger’s Neighborhood…

It was quiet…too quiet…

Kept walking…down the road…around the block…even the street names seemed cartoony…

It was beautiful…yet eerie…peaceful…yet unnerving…felt kind of like walking…into the Twilight Zone…

And so it is…in life…sometimes…you find yourself…where you don’t fit in…but nothing says you have to…

Just keep on walking…find your people…find your place…it’s out there…they’re waiting for you…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
