all i really have the effort to say is that we are two angels being escorted by many more.

i've been waking up in all sorts of beautiful places and spaces and following one incredible synchronicity to the next.

i have been in some beautiful places, remote ones where thank god i have new tires and four wheel drive, and the ground is littered with geodes and military jets fly overhead looking for poor brown people trying to walk across the desert. i have been in the presence of an angel with no teeth telling crazy stories about being married to a prostitute for 14 years, with an 80 year old woman, a writer of children's books who lives in a fairy cottage miles out of town near the Mexican border and drives a 4x4 with a cattle dog in the passenger seat, and loans out some of her land to humanitarian aid organizations. i want to be her someday. she is a mirror of my endeavors. i have talked with young and old alike who walk the migrant trails leaving water and, here and there, picking up a child's shoe left in haste. so many stories, already, so much serendipity carrying us from one place to the next, that i have no time to tell it all at the moment. still in motion, from one national forest to the next set of hot springs and on to more amazing people (many of whom have turned out to be much older than i, and definitely older than the bro - mentors and teachers and inspirations, all - and most definitely angels, each and every one of them).

so, stay tuned. i have some real focus right now and a friend who shares the dream, so we're on our way to make it happen. or, rather, we're currently making it happen. and eventually, it will give me somewhere to sit down and tell the story like it should be told.
