THE THREAD OF LIFE

1

The irresponsive silence of the land, The irresponsive sounding of the sea, Speak both one message of one sense to me: — Aloof, aloof, we stand aloof, so stand Thou too aloof bound with the flawless band Of inner solitude; we bind not thee; But who from thy self—chain shall [...]

Solitude before the Arid-Zone

Heading off to the Arid-Zone tomorrow, so I’m just finishing up my packing …

Good day today … slept in after Mama T’s holiday shindig in Heber yesterday, after sleeping away a good chunk of the day Saturday recovering from the Holidayna Maritini event in the Sugarhood.

Headed up to Solitude this morning about [...]

First turns away …

I need a massage …

Get your minds out of the gutter … I mean a real massage … deep tissue type stuff, to work the stiffness out of my legs, the knots out of my neck and right shoulder, and just to loosen up my low back.

Went skiing today at Solitude, as usual … had a good day; [...]

Once again …

… I’ve discovered that it’s possible to have an absolutely shitty day up on the slopes.

From the time I turned up the canyon, until I made it to the parking lot at Solitude almost 90 minutes later, I just had a feeling it wasn’t going to be a great day …

I get on [...]
