update...

so, i was driving most of yesterday and i only had the radio on for a short while because i was in the middle of nowhere most of the drive...the fair and balanced report of the hurricane damage was given and i only have a few things to say:

1- price gouging does not count as an oil crisis
2- i am very sorry for all those who lost life...and for those who lost things that were important to them
3- to the one reader - i don't know if i should apologize for the hike in prices for a couple of reasons...but i am very sad for those who were taken advantage of during this time...


i am sitting in the wilderness again and it feels good...it mostly feels like home...which is interesting to me because i have no idea how one can wander for 36 years and suddenly realize that geography matters...i think kathleen norris talks about spiritual geography...maybe it is something akin to this particular situation...atmospheric pressure - wind velocity - altitude - visual stimulation - it all matters... :) i wonder if realtors would use any of this in describing a new development ;)

i feel random today...in some senses the last few months have been an alternate universe...one day you understand and are convinced you know what is going on...then, unoblivious to another reality circling around your perceived reality lies another universe...poof...they collide...then it all becomes one strange and wacky interfaced situation that ejects you from a time warp...or a perceived time warp rather...

there is something interesting about the encounter...whatever you were feeling in the personal perceived universe becomes altered...changed...dismantled is probably the best word...which makes for - in my case - a nice liberation from self-deceit...
