Saw the eyes of a scared, lonely 18 year old boy today leaving the facility...he was leaving a place where he was taken care of, nurtured, and loved. Three meals a day, a roof over his head, a place to sleep and clothes to wear. But he was going to a place of the unknown-no meaningful relationships-no therapist to tell him what he's doing wrong-no teacher to help him further his education-no behavior guide to confront him when he steps out of line. Now hes going to a place of the unknown. Who knows what he's going "home" to-Who knows what is waiting for him at "home"...
He holds his head down...but he still stands 6'2", weighing at around 215lbs-big baggy shorts-hair in braids-durag donned...however, his eyes filling up with tears. Standing there with him, it felt unnerving-something didnt feel right-why would you not want to leave?? He's been in custody, no freedom for ten years of his life-now hes free and he doesnt want to be-why?
His transporter showed up and took him from the facility...to "home"...to the unknown.

"till nothing is left..."
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

Quote from "Wild at Heart"
"Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
