God Loves A Desperate Man

Oggy On The Road

I swear that I tried to avoid this situation but it was my destiny to be stranded near Alpine, Texas with no bus or plane or bike or alternative option to cross the desert, having nearly walked from the ancient city of Chihuahua to the frontier, lips swollen, but eyes no longer weeping loneliness.

And thus it was my destiny to be picked up by a pretty Mexican Doctor of Forestry on her way back to Monterrey, Mx from Big Bend National Park. She literally said it was because of the Bongo drums, laying in the cow manure near my ravaged backpack, that she turned around and came back for me.

Wolves







I´m not totally sure about the truth that this was a Cherokee proverb. I recall a New Mexico tourist trap where a fake leather wallet had the saying, ¨March to the beat of your own drummer...¨ Ancient Apache Saying.
Well, Thoreau was the one who wrote that around the time the Apaches were being slaughtered by Land Hungry Expansionists.

Anyway, another wise ancient Indian saying (actually from a Justin Beiber Song) is, ¨The grass isn´t always greenest on the other side, it´s green where you water it.¨

Consequences

Adam and I have had a chance to discuss many important issues. We agree that attitude is everything. He's convinced I've manifested my own ailments. He could be right. Basically, I've come several thousand miles across the desert and mountain and ocean to say goodbye to someone who wouldn't slow down for me if I was crossing in front of her car.

hang on tight



Riding on the back of a motorcycle on the tropic of cancer.
Stones pelt the fragments of an obscured dream
the destiny of the asphalt civilization in a dual with paradise
cove of pirates fill with sand, the tides are ruled by distant moons
