well… if this works, then yes, i can actually post updates from the road. though i suspect they will be extremely succinct…. maybe. hah. (this being a test!)
preparation
the cats have a home. thank the stars. a sangha sister has taken them. i cannot begin to tell what an enormous relief/weight it has lifted.
the river, the amber, and the bones
(recording available: river-amber-bones.mp3 ) in a dream, i found a river, in a forest, primordial, silent even the creatures, mindful, moving slowly, noiselessly only the sound of the waters, giddy, rushing, and gleeful over rocks, against the banks, running, running to the ocean
new music mix
i do not usually listen to pop music or anything remotely ‘new’ or ‘contemporary’. but, while out driving today, several songs played as i was scanning the station dials that just…. i dunno. fit. hit home. were ‘mine’ in that way that sometimes songs are… so, as usual, i went out and dug them up to post here.
insight, reflections, vanishing point
it’s safe to say that making yourself think, really think, about things is work.
grandfather marlin
my head is swimming with thoughts; schools of unruly fish in an ocean of odd currents and riptides. it would seem i am a fisherman in this moment, net and basket, swooping to scoop up rainbow glimmering quicksilver flashes, draw them closer and study them.
mid-day nap
it is odd, but it seems most of my dreams arrive in naps rather than night time of late.
