Its been awhile since i've updated and i doubt I could explain the various forces within and without or where i've been for the past two months... or where i'll be in the next four and I don't really care about cohesiveness right now because i just woke up and haven't had coffee though I'm hoping to go to Bons once my lazy friends wake up. I'm coming forth from somewhere where I know I will always look back on with longing and love... On one of my journeys down the stream, (they are different every time - but this one was very different) I left the boulder where I spent a lot of my time and was beckoned downstream by the river otters (we became friends), beckoned to the ocean and the sky of maturity and the sea of fertility(which i'm reading right now...)... and i looked back after i left... at my green mossy boulder where i had learned so much and felt so perfect... and wanted to go back but couldn't though there was no place i'd rather be. But the stream was the flow of time and my journey flowed with the time and i had to move on, move forward, to the ocean where the sky opens up and possibilities awaited. But that moment when i looked back on that place that meant so much, that place in time, (the stream is time) where i wanted to return so badly but couldn't... Thats where i was for the past two months.
My travels begin tomorrow. To Kansas, Texas, New York, Japan, the Philippinnes and then 2.5 months of unplanned travel around se asia for a total of four plus months wandering... roaming... rambling ... meeting people... I know it will be nuts and i know there will come a time where i'll want a little stability so i'll probably lodge in a bungalow in thailand for a month or so... I'll have friends in laos and cambodia travelling... but i need to get my breakfast and coffee now because i'm hungry and slow-witted.
