binghamton, ny has a nice library. nice enough people to direct me to it in order to use their free wireless. way to go, human race.
so, on the road again. been driving since 9 am. the sensuous swells of the edges of the adirondacs are a welcome sight. the dripping grey of the sky matches my mood. solemn, thoughtful. isis is wiped out from time spent following around new friends. i am still surprised at what a relief i did not know it was going to be in being around people who like my dog, who see her as another being with which to interact, not just a nuisance that i need to control. quite nice.
montreal is a very impressive city. i enjoyed the time that i spent there. the bi-linguality of everyone and everything was thrilling. knocked heads with some co-opers, got me thinking about a new project they are putting together up there. very intriguing. i would love to be a part of this group of super-motivated individuals working toward the creation of a community. good thing to think about. thoughts of continued education in the realm of translation. internationally acclaimed language school conveniently located in the center of downtown. so considerations of becoming a full-time student are ploughing around in there now, too.
the peaceful abode of my now-even-better friend was a place of solace for me. the joy of like-mindedness has given me some hope. as the road rolls itself out before me, and the battle between desire and decency rages in me, i have a rock to cling to. people like me do exist. i am not alone. though craving touch and tenderness only recently explored, with images both visual and corporeal pulling at my pulsions, my head wanting nothing more than to rest upon willing shoulders, i feel at peace, almost thankful that i am not in the place where any of the desires can be acted upon, further embroiling my mind. right now is the time for exploration of possibilities, the examination of baskets within which i may soon choose to place my eggs. the complications of these decisions will have to wait until i have finished collecting my data, soaking up impressions and massaging my battered mind with the salve of travel. i love the road. i revel in this, my present existence. see you all next week.
