Having begun in thought there
in that factual embodied wonder
what was lost in the emptied lovers
patience and mind I first felt there
wondered again and again what for
myself so meager and finally singular
despite all issued therefrom whether
sister or mother or brother and father
come to love's emptied place too late
to feel it again see again first there

How long have you been in therapy? I used to get nervous too. It sucked.

Robert Creeley rocks my socks off. You've got great taste in poems, but how are you doing?
This is a bit impersonal, my man.

I am inhabited by a cry.
Nightly it flaps out
Looking, with its hooks, for something to love.

I am terrified by this dark thing
That sleeps in me;
All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.

Clouds pass and disperse.
Are those the faces of love, those pale irretrievables?
Is it for such I agitate my heart?

I am incapable of more...

Portland, OR.

Passed by Devil's Point.

Ready to pass out in my new room.

No furniture, but I have wifi.


Ok, SG-PDX - show me what you got!

Went to Devil's Point tonight. Time difference from East Coast is catching up with me. It's only 1 AM here. Actually, happy 1:05!

Butte, MT.

Watching The Eagles/Vikings on MNF. (Correction: watching the Eagles kick the Vikings' ass!)

Black Hills, Wyoming, Little Big Horn, Continental Divide, bad coffee, great trip.

Wow. I did not realize you were jumping up and leaving like that. Holy cow.

Indeed. I do like my parents. Very much so in fact. That is what makes all of this so hard. Since the disease has struck my mother, she has become someone else. I do not like that person one bit, and to me, in many aspects she is already dead. But before that, definitely. They are two of the most amazing people in the world to me, and I consider myself beyond fortunate to have lived under their roof. My father has done some changing over the past year, and I do not like what the year has done to him. But it has been a rough year, and I know his heart. That at least has not changed. They are awesome.

Wow, it sounds like your family is completely a different story though?

Rapid City, SD.

Went thru Badlands National Park this afternoon. Cursed or not, it was amazing. I am now well into the Mountain time zone, and way past exhausted.

(Not exhausted enough to keep the computer off, but hey) smile

I didn't have access at my hotel last night - even though the chain promotes "high-speed internet access" in every room, every location. Bull shit. All...

Hey! I'm in Toledo, OH. Well, I'm west of Toledo, just east of the Indiana border. It is VERY exciting.

Actually, the sunset was really nice - and the room at the Holiday Inn Express w/ wifi is just, well, WAY TOO BIG.

Tomorrow: The big decision. I-90 up into the Dakotas, or I-80 through Iowa (and eventually Utah to Oregon). HillaryWallace has already voted...

The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.

-from "Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan

(Frank Herbert - Dune)



EPISODE I - The Phantom PA/OH Turnpike

Tomorrow:
EPISODE II - Attack of the Rival Interstates (I-80 or I-90, which way to go?)
