not so strange magnificence

The internet we use at home just comes and goes and so it is with nearly everything else as well.
I found a new callous on the back of my heel just below the achilles tendon. Definitely the sign of movement. Progress perhaps.

"The feeling of health. The full noon trill."

I am escaping into the night to read Walt Whitman and to become a man. I don't suspect I shall be gone very long.

I also have an inkling that unless I begin writing something that makes a little bit more sense I am never going to get published. Or perhaps I should actually just submit the material that makes no sense. Perhaps.

It seems beautiful just the way it is

In Sebastopol, California I have been able to confront a more ideal way of living with my cynicism and have found myself greatly wanting. This has been the most enlightening, spiritually aggressive and emotionally fortifying trip I have taken in my adult life.

Ideals are not dreams and dreams are not foolish. There is worth and there is worth in everything. I have had a lot of time to think about the order of all things in my life and I don't necessarily feel I will be taking things "back" with me but I feel I am coming into life and understanding love and selflessness. Selflessness especially. All of these things not as preoccupations that somewhat distract from day-to-day but serve to elevate my moments and hours.

I can't remember the last time I felt this sure about anything.
