A New Skin

I turned in my badge today.  I have officially left the pursuit of Community Peace, for my own.  There was a moment when I felt just a tinge of sadness, but it was fleeting.   Taking off the uniform for the last time, it felt as if I was shedding an old skin, to begin anew; a rebirth of sorts.   I still feel 16, even though the double nickel birthday is fast approaching.   I served my community well, and perhaps had a hand in changing a life somewhere.  But the Camino is calling me.  Come, come walk with me.  Tell me your stories and I will tell you mine.  I will come.
