Broken Washer, Healthy Spirit, by Mark Tulin/Being Known

link.medium.com/YrLSrScV1gb

I have moved four times in the last eight years. The last one I describe in this prose poem. It was the most difficult and stressful, complicated by my health challenges and the abruptness of the situation. If we didn’t have the resources or the friends, we very likely would have been homeless. As we wait for the moving van to arrive at our new location, I wonder how long our luck will last and hope we can stay long enough to memorize the address.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.

    Oh how wonderful the way your life turned around! Thank God for good friends who could reach out to you both to provide a home (it looks beautiful!)! I’m so pleased and tickled for you both as you’re “closer” to where I live. Peace be with you both as you enjoy your new home and adventures together!
