What a nite at Kingapalooza. Ferry-bound and very sad after the goodbyes. I love all of you.

Strange days. Finishing Kerouac and madly interrupted by ...
Kitty broke curfew again last nite. Time for a behavior modification program.

Epsom salt soakerama, Canadian Runner, and two Schweppes tub-side.
An honest 20 km bf; sun and shade and sun and shade at Rocky Point.

I'll be paying for that embarrass- your-campbound-daughter dockside cheap laugh for many moons.

On the track at 230 am - 25 km bf. Santana at sunrise, and a surreal sitdown visit on the track with a young deer. #whyirun

I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being. ~Hafiz

Non local
Reeks in here, and whatever magic I once associated with the coin operated bandito seems destined to a short shelf-life.
Until I make the call.
Micro-macro trickle down economics here, chitlins - moose head silver slivers the box and starts a mechancial supply and demand chain reaction from deep within. Metal to metal to electric signal to the switching station to point B and now as I hear her answer
I see four ladders stretching out from each side of the phone booth, right-angling up and converging like a great french braid; exploding in fanning filaments and
she's sending signals back now, signals *within* the signals; emotion through the electrical and
the filaments are awake and searching, spiralling upwards, sensing her movement
which is coming from letters now, ascii ghosts dancing the periphery between the physical and the sensed
And outward, looking down, it is a web now; filaments and letters entangled in an impossible wireframework; two lovers connected and the filaments are lit and there is esctasy and mystery not bound by space or time but by
the click of a receiver and a port sealing itself from the world.
tee-ha!

Well exercised, fed and watered, off to Sit for 2 hours.
12 km slow-roast barefoot round the seawall put to bed
Why we put up with rain for the other 360 days of the year
Physical boundary test 17-e: going for a barefoot run; 81 degrees; "feels like 90". Game on.

Forced march with 6 cousins through the tamed badlands of Sasamat lake.

Running as mantra
Fine towering firs to the right, harried line separating saline from sand to the left. Rhythmic padding below, lids dropped down from above. What is looking is hemmed to the looked by a blood red sash.
Imminent immanence, or that big bastard ball of string again?
It tendril-ed my ankle 8 kms back; thought winding in and around itself, looking for cause and effect. Baleful perseveration gave the first knots before fractal-ing into *the* Not - the final negative bearing down on me and vacuuming the space between like so much forgotten seawall grit.
And then, silence.
Sound, feeling, breath and movement become not-two. The question of the big bastard giving chase dissolves. There is no resolution; it is simply fully and utterly irrelevant.
There is only This: Space between the footfall; moment before the breath; fine towering firs to the right, harried line separating saline from sand to the left. Rhythmic padding below, lids dropped down from above. What is looking is hemmed to the looked by a blood red sash.

12 km barefoot, 60 mins. Seawall, sun, pushed to better performance by a faster colleague. Thanks Kyle!

Finally bought and am reading 0n the Road. Which makes me think of you, Steph. As well as mad-Matt.
This a.m. was the first time in my kids' lives they have seen me without a beard. I look like I'm 14. Mixed reviews. Me not like.
