Cyrus
was born under a bridge to homeless parents, hiding from something.
What? Since age four, his life had been a series of orphanages, juvenile
homes, mental institutions, and jails. For forty years he had learned
to islolate and insulate himself. He had no friends. He had no family.
Who were these people now telling him that they had been waiting for him? They said God had led him there. God leads us sometimes while we're not looking. But why would a God who had allowed him his miserable life, suddenly decide to lead him anywhere ... now ... to a bar in rural Georgia? God. He didn't know God. These people, this strange family all said they knew God, but they each knew him by a different name. Did his name matter? They said "no", as long as you spoke to him and paid attention when he spoke back in his own way. Harley and his family walked the traditional path. Storm walked through the grass thanking it for its cushion and beauty ... apologizing for crushing it beneath her heels. Allow Cyrus to tell you his story. Almost three years into his stay with the family that finds him and loves him, he sits on the porch to tell the story. It is his story, entwined with their story. No life goes by without being wrapped up in other lives. Our lives are a journey. Cyrus' journey takes him to live on a real working 'hippie farm'. He learns to read and write and to be productive. He learns God gave him a gift with plants. In doing this he learns that for his whole life he has 'worked the system' that he claims to hate. Go with Cyrus to the hippie farm and meet Serendipity, the weathered old woman with orange pigtails, and an invisible dog named Rattler. Meet Ja Love, the minister who runs the 'farm' which he calls an asylum. Not an insane asylum but a place of peace ... a haven. A place of angels. Be with Cyrus when, for the first time, he knows real family, his blood family. It is the story of his metamorphosis from a homeless, illiterate man, to a man who reads everything from Dr. Seuss to Carl Jung. He laughs out loud with delight at the world he has found and become a part of. Cyrus will tell you his story. Storm, the angel bartender said he had to be there with that family. They had a journey to take. His life had been one long, lousy journey. This, though, was a different kind of journey ... a journey of spirit. He needed them, but they needed him too.
