As the day goes by, catching rides, borrowing electricity, and resourcing our needs from a truck stop, I notice knew beauty. The teetering of the brown spectacles that lay on the dash as the driver calmly explains repairing electrical wires with a soldering iron. Taking away from that a metaphor for life, even when teetering on the edge, gravity held them in place. Knowing that what keeps us going, is the drive to keep progressing, is the gravity that allows us to stay balanced.
We've had let down after let down in this past week. Having a person reach out to volunteer a ride to the used part place, only to have them block me, not answer my texts, and never showed up to give that ride, I so desperately needed. We had hoped to get the used part and have an electrical technician replace the ECM harness, however the person we lined up to do the job, left after I paid them for equipment, still have yet to return with that equipment. Today, when deciding to go another route to get our camper home fixed, we also concluded we should wash our laundry, and prepare for a shower. Perhaps we will be back up and running soon, but until then I'm still seeing the flowers despite the rain..
