Sorry to hear it - good luck at recuperation, and I hope the packing goes well

~Trilo~

I will send you some long distance healing; what part of the world are you in at the moment?

Am packing myself to go on the road for a job; will be out and about for a few months with some time home in between... I find lately that I prefer to be on the road as opposed to being at home... go figure...

Hope you recover quickly and have a safe trip to wherever you are going...

WOW, is that the polar opposite of how I feel right now! I've been reading a book by Deshimari Roshi, a lifelong warrior-monk. It's about Zen meditation and developing inner and outer centralization. I'm no hippie, but meditation is really good for you! It sure beats medication!

As my years of training are starting to advance, I am noticing that things around me which seem to occur really fast to other people are happening slowly and clearly to me. During times which are more frightening and confusing to others I'm able to stay calm and centered. So, if this sounds like somewhere you'd like to be, maybe put a little time aside every day to practice. 'Cause at the rate you're spinning, you might just turn into butter!

Swinging back and forth between static and entropic states, hope you're still out there. You want things to stabilize, but nothing seems worthwhile when they do...

hell yes. WOW!

We're not a big theme camp, so we don't have placement or anything figured out quite yet. But we're likely going to be in the vicinity of 9 o'clock and 3rd or 4th street back (c or d or whatever the words are). You'll most likely find us at or near El Circo, however. Look for the big El Circo dome, then for the silver ship anchored a hundred or so yards away.

I'm thinking that Wednesday night we're going to do another temple shindig. It was well received last year, and there's been a lot of interest in us doing that again.

I'm getting ridiculously excited

Oh, i don't intend to respond to him. Once a bastard, always a bastard...i've never trusted "born agains" of any stripe. Repentant self-flagellants. It's all self gratification in one way or another.

I think night-fears lurk in the backgrounds of most of insomniacs. I had my first all nighter when i was nine, after playing at a friend's house. Her parents were groundskeepers for a cemetery. Dark country roads being what they are, i was certain something or Something had followed us on the drive home. Kept waiting for a face in the window until the sun rose. Even now, i think, even knowing its irrational...yeah.

Losing perspectives makes room for new ones.

My friends and I have always said the,"I'm a strong black woman". Guess it's universal linkage.

It's strange, but everyone comes back to NY sooner or later.

Safe trip, and good luck with the planning.

138, what an interesting price. ive spent 33 plus hours on a bus trip, it wasnt exactly what i would call entertaining, but the people on board were quite interesting to say the least, definitely an experience to remember

three cheers for the wicked ale.

Happy B-Day!
