<by the time you get back you will be changed
forever. you set this inevitable event in motion...
when you took altair18 into your life.>

When I think back about it, I always felt that Altair18 was doing great things for us by joining our family...both Demi and I felt we had somehow always been connected to him and this was something that was supposed to happen. It didn't seem out of the ordinary at all.

Amazing stuff isn't it. I think this trip will add to his freedom.

p-

during my trip to belize i felt a great love
and at the same time sadness...


you were very thoughtful - i guess that
in part made it the odyssey it was.

i'm curious to know what you came away in the
end, and what effect it has had on you.

i know, i know. i'll just have to wait.

during my trip to belize i felt a great love
and at the same time sadness...

love... both for a part of the planet and a part
of my human family, that i've never gotten to visit
before.

and sorrow... that the human family is so wrongly
separated by so many false barriers (borders,
separatist ideologies and poliphuckingticians).


Sheet... I feel sorta bad now. You hafta travel all the
way to Belize to get this feeling, where I'm lucky enough
to experience it on a daily basis during my trip to the
Bronx each day.

Lucky me.

<g>

Actually the funny thing is that this poor attempt at a
sarcastic joke made me realize that I won't truly be an
enlightened being until I can see the Bronx in the same way
as I see the Caribbean.

Hmmm...
This may require me to to smoke several bales of ganja each
week... <vbg>

Kidding aside, on days where I'm in a good mood, there
isn't much that I don't like about the Bronx. Perhaps I
should try to stay in a good mood more often.

I'm going to try it today.

Do the sailboat drivers down there often wave to each other
with their middle fingers like the car drivers do around NY?

Today's mission is to look at the Bronx as if it was Belize.
I bet there are a lot of similarities and a lot of pleasant
differences.
