....who drove crosscountry seventytwo hours to find out if I had a vision or he had a vision to find out Eternity.... -Allen Ginsberg, "Howl" Travel over with for the day - everything over with for the day - I walk out of the bar and look up at the night sky, the floating edge of the Milky Way visible. A miracle. I wonder how people live under a sky like this; there's no hiding from those stars - really windows... But to what? No answers here, pardner. No one gets out alive? Well, whoever said that was right, of course - but all the more reason to LIVE now (which there'll be time for later). Tonight sleep will come easy, as it should. No more opportunities to ask questions that have no answers. 300 miles today, 300 more tomorrow. Best not to contemplate the heart's long journey. But just before falling asleep, I will wonder about the one I've yet to meet and where she is now, wrestling with visions and poems not yet dreamed. |
