Circumstances brought me to a familiar place today at a familiar time. I'm not sure if it makes me nostalgic or afraid.
This place is changing. Renovations are under way. Things are no longer where they used to be. I remember walking through once. Picking up a few items. Carrying them back and up.
Are my thoughts making me nostalgic? Am I looking for something? Or am I afraid of what I might see? All I know is that it's a very heavy feeling.
The drive home was no less uncomfortable. It was always around this time of day that I drove home down this route.
So close, but so far.
This drive always takes longer than I expect. A part of me wanted to down the gas and let out the heaviness, but a bigger part of me was reminded of those words that have time and again saved me from trouble on these roads.
The rain was falling.
And with it, came a certain amount of guilt...
