The title of this post is the lyrics to a Patty Larkin song that I had in my head earlier and just came on my computer wirh 4476 songs in it, on shuffle...

I feel the need to connect lately. I think it is exactly what I am missing in my life and why after nine years I am still floating on an island of isolation and tomfoolery when it comes to my lifestyle and what I am using to nourish my body . I mean, surely I know better. Right?

So I went raw practically overnight back in 1999 (gonna party like it.s...) after reading an interview with juliano in spin magazine. i worked at wild oats and somehow ended up drinking fresh veggie juice and eating apples
and then moving to puerto rico to work with the family at the awi

and then i came back to colorado

and was living with my parents and it was a little harder to keep things up and it slowly slipped to the wayside

and travel and school and school and confusion

and then working at a cleansing/fasting retreat in alabama with weekly raw food dinners hosted by us and all the colonics a colon can handle

and then swingeth the pendulum backeth west...

and here i am... we are... back to the place where it all began (well not the very beginning but close enough)

sense>ing a new beginning right in front of my eyes

i just have to >O| >P| >E| >N| them.....

how is it even physically|metaphorically possible to stand in one's own way for that long? didn't my legs get tired?> guess they're getting tired now... or maybe just stronger.


i have this crazy puzzle-vision of cOMmunity living|Dancing with the Land fruit and sunlight and gardens and trees families and rich, dark soil and waterfalls...

I just feel a sense of exigence. Nothing new. It's the same old urgency that I've felt from the very first moment of awakening. Time to pull out all the old lightsabers in the arsenal and to start cutting away the cobwebs that have been entangling me. It's time to begin. Again.
