Glasgow Glasgow where are you? 102 from Carlisle!

Nestled in your wings my little
one

This special morning brings another
sun

Tomorrow see the things that never
come

Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you
know

Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to
go

It's over, it's over.

It's the ending of a trip that never really got going. It had plenty of interesting bits. And even some pieces!! I still cannae sprachen the speak of Spain. That's funny..
Chile is nice, my last country of the trip. a bit more european than other countries over here. I have met a few nice people at the hostel also. A brazil couple Oz couple and Canada girl. Visited a winery. went out eating and drinking and having pleasant times.
I even had the fortune to sleep in A cupboard one night.

It's Maria-ines birthday on the day I leave SA. It would have been nice to spend it with her but I will be flying in a aeroplane, and I hope to hell it isn't constructed from chocolate, that is going to cause serious problems at take off if it is. and it's ok for you to laugh or not understand. I'm the man on ground. and maybe staying there.

then there is the problems of UK. accom and travel. nothing is easy in my life. accept-- my life. which isny all that hard really. A luxury life I have chosen as opposed to the more frequently chosen option of work stress debt frustration and stupidity. The greed machine- or is it just the very fucking stupid machine! that dictates most peoples lifes. I reckon either.. People are people and people are no good. As opposed to pineapples which very often are good. And many other non people things. like Avacados. or whales. or turtles and seahorses. even chestnuts are far better than people as I am sure you will have surmised for yaself. . Then again. maybe not, coz most people, myself included, are stupid. I'm just more aware of the stupidity I pocess process...And another thing....... people are stupid all the..... I don't understand everything.
I may be hungry.

now now now, I will say the good thing about the return is the music the dance and the theatre. the familiarity with the geography. the streets and the ugly faces.

lentils and blips

And you do what you want
And I will do what I want;
I'm now free of master and everyone,
Servant of all and servant to none
How are you ? I am now south of the equator. It feels the same to me tho. I am in a town called Vilcabamba and I am not tryoing out the hallucinogenic San Pedro cactus as I don't have time. I am rushing south south. To peru and beyond. Will get nto south peru hopefully within 10days. Then chile. Santiagi for an aeroplane to Spain. Hope the metal bird is not not metal and chocolate because I can't trust a plane made of chocolate. Would you? Well of course you wouldny. It would be far too dangerous. Not that I worry about planes landing too early on the sea or in moutains. Thats fine. once your up your up but to attempt even a take-off in a chocolate aeroplane would be madness.

Nothing to interesting happening at the moment. The town/village I am in is tiny and I still can't find the vegetarian resaurant. It's very odd that I should have such a problem.

oh well you never know how daft a person can be 'til they try to find the veggy food place in a small town.

I will leave this proposterity for a while and try and find a blockquote for tho start this post.

All yer fair and fine misters and misseses must abide. and take comfort from me.

I am the one-รงรง

love

the latent and the dead

Veins on leaves
A cat of kings
A mouthful of seed
A strand of beads
An hour of lust
A bucket of trust
It's time to rest
My shiny things
Pull them off
Pull them off
Pull them off of me

Hi and how are you?
I-m in Popayan. Southish Colombia. About to say goodbye to this white uninteresting city. Och, it-s ok really, I have enough to keep me amused most of the time. Maria-Ines keeps me going with fun and laughter and love.
HAd an interesting encounter with the bad side of Colombia.. Well after almost 4 months of good times and tranquility it's not a great surprise to see the bad side. So a bit of uncomfortable excitement has now hopefully past and I will leave the country in the next couple of days.

South to Ecuador and then on and on Peru and Chile for my flight home at the end of the month.
Whatdya think?

I'm neither up nor down. I'm cutting short my thoughts so as not to be carried this way or that. I'm finding time is only now and not yesterday or the morra. Everything in this life of transcience makes me wonder and wondering is not what I'm in the mood for. I get a bit confused with day after day and remember, when I need to, the essentials. The following day following another etc.

Perpelexion is not for the faint hearted when sensitivity is rearing. So I am not in any mood and not in expectation of anything I hope. Just waiting. Not even waiting. Just ...justing. Minute by minute I am ...just....

So that means that I am not gonnae say much about anything. I am going to lie down. Maybe go to the toilet. Then I will read a little, then contemplate absolutely nothing. Lose myself in a void of empty ease and nothing nothing nothing.

What you thinking? Where do you go_ Where do people go. And why do they bother, when there is less to do. I cannot find an answer because I am not seeking the answers.
So there ye go ya bam.

I'm right out of this place.

go go go

All the love in the sky and the floor.

Love
