I have my own room again... for the first time in six months. And I love it. I have a good house with a huge deck, I have a good room, and I have good roommates. Summer in Oregon is beautiful and I love the fact that I'm here with my good living situation to enjoy it.

Having my own room allows me the space to think, to close the door on the world and enter into my sacred space where I can't be bothered by anyone. And in that space I become reflective on my life, on the world and on God. I have the mental calm to write my thoughts out and to examine them.

It's a good place to be.
