I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage, credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 51 chasing the same thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell 52 . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I 53 the countryside for some place I could rent for the 54 possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road over the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was 55 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and 56 a corner to camp in.
The locals knew nothing about me, but slowly, they started teaching me the 57 of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began sticking around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a 58 American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness.
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were 59 for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. 60 on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 61 with my neighbors.
Four years later, I moved back into 62 . I saw many people were having a really hard time,
63 their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to 64 a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in shelters if we hadn’t banded together.
The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about 65 we can all get bytogether.
