Fear of the suburbs















Next year looms, and I'm afraid of the suburbs.

Alicia asked me, "Heidi, where does *God* want you to be?" I'm afraid God might want me to be in a place I don't expect.

Why does the greatest spiritual learning always exist in the hardest places? Deserts, mountains, cornfields, strip malls...

Heather said, "If God is everywhere, he must be in the exurbs, too. You probably could have a garden there. Hell, maybe you could even get a pony."

I still don't know.
