I'm sitting here with sore face waiting to meet up with my artist friend at the home cooking local cafe at Five Corners.
It's not five corners anymore. They closed one of the roads to create condos and business development. Yes, it's like
waiting in prison for my execution death sentence, wondering about the afterlife that is to come... the usual discussion.
Done at salon, GF is going out with her girlfriend tonight. We lead fairly separate lives, given we share living space
and have a business in common. Five Corners is where they had the fire in White Rock two years ago.
To ease the pain on my face I made some CBD in coconut oil last night. No brownies. This time I'm just going to spread it
on toast with nut butter and fruit jam. All love sugar, sugar aggravates my face nerve. So does sitting here waiting...
Here's a poem to keep you occupied :
Slow Thoughts
I can’t quite put into words
what I’m going through
It all takes time to realize
who you were and then
still keep track of who you are
I imagine it's difficult
for someone who is split in two
to feel torn about
the other you
I feel worn out just thinking about it
let alone trying to find myself
What’s your excuse? ~psp

So I met with Dada, my painter friend, and he was up until 6am talking with some woman from Wisconson, first on FB, then on the phone, so he was very tired and in his spiritual jag. NDE near death experiences. He says the woman had to tell him a story about a "visitor" she experienced recently. she told him she was visited by Grey Eagle, one of the Lakota chiefs. They were walking down the street and suddenly she found themselves somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota with a native council that included Sitting Bull surrounded by about 6 elders, including an old smiling guy, and a number of younger council, who she was later able to pick out of an old photo. They were there watching over the proposed pipeline to make certain the tribe wasn't screwed out of land, yet once again, like happened in the old days when they reneged on a treaty to get at the gold in the Dakota hills. The Lakota Sioux settled the area in about 1765 after being pushed out of Wisconsin and Minnesota by European settlers and Iroquois tribes. Leaders like Crazy Horse who . In 1849 the Californian Gold Rush attracted prospectors to the Black Hills, who were often killed by the Lakota as result of encroaching on the sacred grounds. After the defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in June 1876, Congress responded with the Indian Appropriations Act of 1876. On July 31, 1979 the Sioux were awarded under a breach of the Fifth Amendment, $17.5 million with 5 percent interest totalling $105 million. The Sioux in 2011 refused the government trust of 1980 now worth $1 billion to usurp the land rights of the Black Hills Gold and Green Hills forestation. Re: Standing Rock Indian Reservation, Dada thinks Sitting Bull doesn't have a Rock to Stand on. A boy named Sioux.

I was supposed to pick up my pay cheque from teaching art, but for some bureaucratic reason, it wasn't available. Did the program co-ordinator who confirms the invoices, forget to hit send again? Fuck. I need to check my bank account and see where I'm at middle of the month.
A few young tarts in yogapants, and a lot of oldsters walking dogs. Then Dada wanted to go
Laura's Coffee at Five Corners
Dada doesn't do pizza and convinced me to go for Chinese for noodles.
I asked the waitress when she handed me the bill if they take Library cards, to pay the bill.
She went to ask the owner, who laughed, and I used my debit instead...
