there is news on the homefront. the sparrow community house will no longer be confined to a single dwelling. after almost three years, kirsten and i have been called to the next leg of our journey.
my time in atlanta has been both challenging and an unmistakable gift. a lot of folks have come through the house and we have all learned so much from one another…about companionship, communication, hospitality, and cooperation. even in our community’s hardest moments, i couldn’t have traded it for a more full force look at what shared space and relationship can be. it was the real deal from the get go…even if that deal was sometimes messy.
but now, I am finishing up my second americorps term and waiting for the Spirit to lead me. right now, kirsten is in virginia hanging out with babies and chickens…the folks she likes best. she is keeping a blog about her adventure. stay up to date: http://firstacoustic.tumblr.com/ when my term ends in july, kirsten and i will meet back up and head to the next spot.
a friend told me to hang onto the sparrow community name and i will. i have this feeling that it will come in handy again. i’ll also continue to maintain this blog (better than i have this past year) so that folks can find out how the mobile, very small sparrow community is fairing.
thanks to everyone who supported us and believed in us. and mad love to the haters too.
