one last apple from arcata. the kind that fills you up. perfect specimen. the days of frolicking amongst the mist and redwoods is over. found a sanctuary. found a spot. found a happy, friendly tree to share with others. to meet again.
amazing things happen when you just aren't expecting them.
i had a slow day yesterday. left the tree late. functioned at my own pace. and i still managed to get things accomplished. casually asking for rides up north. sitting in the Plaza getting written up a fake ticket about the dogs (convinced it's a fake ticket and therefor not fretting....the "cop" doesn't even have ligit info....) when what to my wondering eyes should appear, but Fenucci sitting on a stoop. and a ride up north to Seattle which happens to be going to the very Widespread show that i need to get to! yahoo!
i love when that happens.
i should just trust the fact that inevitably positivity will pull through. (you just question- will it go the way i'd hoped?)
but now i find myself in Ephrata, WA while this bro Jeff takes care of his court date. no real worries. just hoping Amber and the kids make it to Seattle safely. yahoo.
Fenucci and these bros are funny. i guess you just have to get to know them. if they let you....
(i have a higher appreciation and love for the bwois in that ride now. maybe it was my blissful state and maybe it's just those bwois. their smiles of farewell, Will's hug and "you're a kind and beautiful sister," Jeff's nonchalance yet twinkle, Fenucci being suave Fenucci. they WERE funny! and then, the court scene....)
so now safely to Seattle, a beautiful miracle all over. miracled a ticket into the show. found Amber. found her kids. long drum set. night of dancing. then made it safely all the way to Missoula. now i'm baking cookies and kickin' it at the Love Nugget full of thankfullness and love.
Amber is planning her trip to Hawaii. they got the van together. everything is fine. i'm staying with Ali. i brought her a taste of "home." i hope to lift her spirits. Ali lives across from Alex- who brought me here from Seattle. (it's all a tangled web.) i met Cheris, Ali's roommate, at the WSP show. Cheris is Ali's friend from highschool! Amber knows all the kids at the Nugget. completely tangled.
now i'm checking out jobs and feeling out my feelings. i'm not sure how long i want to be where or for what or for how long or with whom or for what reasons or what not. ya ya ya. but i'm on track. i'm going to get food stamps and hopefully medicaid and get my shit together. something to be proud of. but for now the kindness and generosity in this town is making me feel love. (i think i walked its perimeter today!) let's see what manifests.....
