There's a man named Rudy. I met him very briefly during work last summer at our Stupa Consecration. He's now back in Crestone from New Mexico. He's also in a relationship drama with me over the fact that I don't want to travel with him. Two things: 1. my family wouldn't even be surprised hearing this story, and 2. I think I want to buy myself a ring.



My Atlantian shoulders
empty of weight 
Soft space, gentle smells
beautiful things
And I can exhale. Relax
I am home



Sometimes I muse how so many different cultures formed the USA and it should have been the best of the best. Yet instead we find ourselves in LFA - Lord of the Flies of America, a place where little is sacred, worth or respected. But much is about attention, control and being right. 
This brings my memory to a joke... but that's another story.



Out of all things
that don't tolerate stagnation 
today I chose greed 
as fuel. To explore other places



I open doors
to what's not mine
and it leaves dirt 
all over my attention
floors
So this is a goodbye
