I already live where I want to. I’m already at
where I want to be in terms to placement and
residing. A ten, fifteen minute walk down the
street I once lived. Several blocks west. A few
blocks feeling like an entire planet away; and
that’s a good thing. I’ve returned; after a twelve
month jaunt in Hyde Park. God returned me to
the neighborhood where I’ve been for the last
thirty years; but on the other side. In a space
nicer than I could ever dream of. After several
nights of opening my eyes in the darkness and
forgetting where I was, a formation of months
tinged in hurt and transformation, I can finally
say I’m at the place I’d most rather be. For that,
I’m both happy and grateful.

It was great having your work up the past couple of days.
And this one shows that it is all about one’s point of view. A person can be greater changed and still live on the same street, more so than someone who moved to Mars.
We hope to see you again soon,

When Leila wrote, “…someone who moved to Mars,” it struck me that that could possibly have been the theme. Until you wrote “30 years,” I thought of a pet–a cat or a dog–who did not roam far, might have been indicated. Intriguing short-short. Thanks for expanding our universe of consciousness, Shantay. I’ve enjoyed your work.

“I already live where I want to” is such a beautiful first line! It speaks of a peace, self-acceptance, and harmony that could transform the world if it became contagious. The writer and person who feels no need to go anywhere is truly at home everywhere. The rest of this piece has an emotional honesty that does justice to that wonderful first line. Thanks for writing!
