Sacred....,

It wasn't planned: this sacred place.

but it' all started the day everyone went crazy. Somehow, wandering through our days wondering how in the world we'd manage to figure all it out. We found our place.

Stumbled into it, really. We're a clumsy lot. Not really sure how to navigate through our days with much grace and poise. Our fumbling and tripping lead right to our place.

It's our "what am I going to do" place, our " I can't believe that happened" place, our " I'm so excited i could burst" place, it's our " let's get our crappy pop music on, and sing " place. It's our "this doesn't leave the car" place.

It's safe place. A warm place.  even in the summer. . It keeps our secrets, laughs with us, cries with us, is mad with us.  Is along for a ride. It gets us where we need to go.

some of my best memories are in this place. The long drives, the long talks, the endless stream of songs that drip with nostalgia. Lots of laughing and just as much yelling.

It's about spending time there until you feel like yourself again.

It's about getting your keys stuck on a ledge and improvising.

It's about getting the space you need, and being with the people you love.

Somehow we get in, turn the radio way up, and we're good.

It's not much. In fact it looks pretty shabby, and makes funny noises all the time, and the air doesn't work, and there are a few broken knobs but it's been there for the best and worst of times, and it's bonded us in a way nothing else could.
