Movin’ Right Along

by Jonathan Lowery • September 24th, 2007

So, I am now about 1200 miles from Jackson, MS. I have spent the past three days mostly driving that distance.

I love the open road - especially the mornings. There’s a great sense of purpose and adventure when you’re rolling down the highway with cool morning air blowing through the open window. I really enjoyed the trip, but that’s not to say that I wasn’t tired by the end of it. Last night I slept VERY well.

Now I’m in Rochester, NY - ready to start my search for housing and a part-time job in preparation for starting work with PUSH next week. Hopefully, at least the housing part won’t take long and I’ll be able to spend this week settling in.

It’s funny trying to update a blog after a long trip like that. I had an enormous amount of time to myself when many thought crossed my head. On the flip side of that road, after I pull into the last driveway, I really don’t have much to say about it. Strange.

You would think I would be bursting with profound thoughts or questions I can’t answer, but I’m not. I think most of what I experienced on the lonely road could be equated to a sorting of my life. It wasn’t so much of adding to my experiences as identifying them and categorizing, making sense of a great many things. Boil it down and I arrive at Rochester ready to start on the next phase with a largely de-fragmented brain.
