]]> Comment on HOMES WITHIN, COMMUNITIES WITHOUT: AUDREY - A Young Homeless Woman Creates Community by Cara Lopez Lee http://girlstrektoo.com/blog/?p=127#comment-5551 Cara Lopez Lee Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:22:15 +0000 http://girlstrektoo.com/blog/?p=127#comment-5551 Thanks for your interest in Audrey's story, Aundria. Because we were looking at the idea of community, and because Audrey wanted to keep much of her privacy, she did leave some things unsaid... so that we might only guess what prompted her to decide the streets were better than her family's home. But I thought she eloquently expressed her changing sense of family, community, and self. I did check out your blog, and I loved the moving story about Peep. I wanted to leave a comment there, but couldn't figure out where to do that. Anyway, Peep's illness as a metaphor for your mother's passing was so sadly beautiful. And I really felt for that little bird, trying to survive while literally being picked on by all the other birds. Haven't we all been through moments like that? Your a lovely writer. Thanks for sharing your words. Thanks for your interest in Audrey’s story, Aundria.

I work for a human services organization in Minneapolis, MN whose mission is ending homelessness. As a writer I am also aware of the disconnect not just of homeless people but many people. check out my blog at http://iftruthbetold.tumblr.com and http:alifelinecreation.tumblr. com Thanks for sharing this video I look forward to the next one.

It's fun to find a fellow adventurer. Your compliment means even more to me after checking out your blog - so beautiful, exciting, and well-written.

Thanks for letting me share that lazy little walk with you. I'm heading deeper into the high country this month, which should be more awe-inspiring, though perhaps not quite as adorable.
