about me
Let's see ... what to say ... well, I guess 'gypsy' would probably be the best word to describe me. I've been roaming the US ever since I got old enough to be on my own. First with my thumb and then later behind the wheel of a truck. I've been driving 18 wheelers now for 10 years and still love it and still love travelling. And I have the amazing luck to have met and married my soulmate 12 years ago and for the last 5 years she has been driving truck with me. We both love it, but we miss community. We have been exploring living communally for about the last 4 years and want to start our own household soon and are just exploring some different areas around the country to see where might be best for us to do that.

I can't believe the difference. I feel ... grown up; whole; fully existent and confident. For the first time in my life I feel in myself. I've always wondered how other people could go around not seeming to worry every single minute that it might be their last minute; that some horrible fate, some horrible death or tragedy awaits them around the corner tthe very next minute. Car crashes, plane crashes, disease, dismemberment; death by fire, stabbing, accident, rage, love, smothering, drow...

OK, here it is, party day - and I am FREEEEEE!!! I am now officially divorced from Kate and Jim - the Womb and the Sperm. It has been an extremely, unexpectedly interesting 20 days. I've ranged from grief sticken to bereft to enraged to horrified to devastated to desolate to (quite briefly) euphoric to ... accepting. Finally. Only just now - at the end. I have learned SO much! Most of it unanticipated. And, finally, finally, Shenny has come home with me. And she wailed out her grief and...

I am an orphan now. And it feels as if the cutting grief of it will go on forever.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my Nor... read more
I am grieving and grieving and it feels as if it will never end. As if there is no day, no night, no sea or sky or ribbon of road, just one long greyness stretching out to forever and beyond. I cannot say it better than Auden.

I guess acceptance has to go with trust. Trust w/out it would be like ... eating a candybar. empty calories. well, maybe not a good analogy. but the idea is that if you trust that everything will be fine - just trust blindly - then what happens when everything ISN'T? i mean shit happens.... i knkow that some christian's say everything is 'god's will' and so they believe that they don't really have to do anything because they can just leave it all up to god as long as they just follow the...
