Day 692 of 365 More.

Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan

So Steph and I jumped in the car today and drove to Tennessee for my family reunion. We didn’t get in til after 3am. I am exhausted.

Since we were pretty much driving all day, I didn’t have a lot of time to really stop and take pictures. This one was taken on my iPhone when Steph and I stopped to get dinner at a McDonalds, somewhere in Southern West Virginia I think.

And then six more hours of driving cramped up in her little Honda Civic. I really need to get that Hybrid Escape.

Now I see the importance of history
Why people be in the mess that they be
Many journeys to freedom made in vain
By brothers on the corner playin ghetto games
I ask you lord why you enlightened me
Without the enlightment of all my folks
He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth
And he was there to quench my thirst
But I am still thirsty…

The lord allowed me to drink some more
He said what I am searchin for are
The answers to all which are in front of me
The ultimate truth started to get blurry
For some strange reason it had to be
It was all a dream about Tennessee

365 days
