Walking forest paths- hot hot in the springtime drought. Ought to find out Y this natures gone awry. Hopping along crimson-pollen encrusted creekside, over tiny toad bodies, and decaying pollywog sands. Dam has closed up again. Trickle does the water flow down to the Yuba where it grows- but still low, no out tide, just no rain. Joyous company among worldly counsels, Augusta employs Me again. I am inspired and ready, a tough tot to trist. I argue my way and gain inspiration. I, Maidu Chief Burning Moth- to the kiddies. Weaving crafts teach, of community, encroachment, past wrongs... I enjoy the look in each their eyes, of innocent disbelief.

May Day- a secret day for creeping among forest leaves and frolicking past neighbor's doorsteps. The right of abandonment to the creations of springtime celebration: "oh!" "awe" say They, as opening their door, to find daisy chains-weavings-cards-and childhood grandeur of staples and drying glue.

A favorite time of year. As absolutely odd as it feels to find myself smack dab in the middle of spring after traveling Latin America through Fall to Summer to Fall. I do not reccommend flying from one side of the equator to another. For many days after such an unnatural journey through the air, Earth feels funny from the core of my bones, and every step becomes unsure, like I might wobble sideways into the abyss of outer-space! I am readjusting to life in "the States" but have come to terms with the fact that, in my perception, this culture has forever changed. The hegemonic attributes of our life here on the West coast has been disrupted by the lifestyles I lived for a short time with the peoples of Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile. Though, to categorize these 'lifestyles' I speak of, it is necessary to forget borders and to pay closer attention to the regions. I learned of life in the plateau jungles, the temperate forests, the lowland desert, the rainforest, the amazon rivers, the Carribean coast, the high desert of the Andes, and the Temperate climates of the Andes as well. I learned of life with the Lencas, visited with the Garifuna, even wandered the pueblos of the Quechua people in the chilly mountains of Ecuador, and the forests of the Amazon jungle, in the Andes of Peru and in the high desert of Chile; descendants of the Spanish, African, Mayan and Inca peoples. This western world of ours has changed for me forever. Now, I can think in Spanish, and remember the rhythm of the ancient sounds of Inca language. There is now perfect awareness of a whole new language and another way of life. Leaking into my own life, it is a new world into which I have returned. I have come home, but I am different.
Hello to all of you in cyberspace. Just wanted to let you know that I regularly update my blog, and have also begun to upload images of my Southward excursion. Please take a look, and stay in touch!

If you are feeling a little nostalgic for all those fun times we shared in the past, trying to procrastinate on a term paper, wondering what the wilds of Central and South America smell like, or maybe you are a bit curious about my overseas exploring, then check on my blog at adventuresouthwards.blogspot.com/ and give me a Haloo!
