FOUR
RUBBER TIRES AND A GARMIN
Why am I grateful to Michelin and a black box linked
to the stars? Road trekking, my friend. I’m a nomad, voyaging from one job to
the next to pay my way across the U.S. Three years ago I bought a camper-van
and a GPS, loaded my dog on board, and started traveling. How can a forty-five
year old woman be grateful for financial insecurity, potential danger, and missed
exits?
Freedom.
The exhilaration which comes from devouring ribbons upon ribbons of open road.
Where the road less traveled isn’t a metaphor, but a bumpy rock-strewn mountain
pass. Trekking has had its challenges. But that was the point. I’ve uncovered
truths about myself, tapped into strengths I thought I lacked.
But most important, I’ve discovered a common thread
woven from one coast to the next: Goodness still reigns supreme in the hearts
of the people. If I’d stayed in my safe corner of Maine, I would have never
learned (in spite of the evening news’ messages to the contrary) that no matter
where or how people live, they are still kind, generous, and nobly heroic in
their struggles to eke out an existence.
So, during this holiday season of reflection, I’m
grateful for my four rubbers tires and my Garmin GPS. Without them, I wouldn’t
have seen this great country. Or the greatness within those who populate it.

Gotta go with you, Sayomay. Learning to read is most likely the greatest gift anyone has ever given me.
