always hard to leave where the deer and the antelopes play

back in LA. needed this medicine (sunlight).

free palestine til its backwards

saw a thousand turkey vultures today

memory i need to keep: last week driving down Lake Shore Drive blasting Marlena Shaw, Cheryl Lynn, Roy Ayers at 3am

learning to be weather neutral and bug friendly seems natural/steadying, and also feels like a slight betrayal to my centuries-long lineage of agricultural grandparents/ancestors pushed and pulled by the seasons and pests

i done seen orcas and humpbacks i done seen eagles and owls i done heard the steps of a mountain lion i done seen the salmon maneuvre i done seen bioluminescence at the sea i done seen otters i done seen the 180 million year old ferns

(notes to tell my Granny about life in British Columbia)

i really feel like a modern griot when my friendgirl call me at 11pm to help her find info/history on her ancestor in online recirds 🫡

dream in Mayombe so real, not yearning for that peace no more

fork and ceramic clanking with no regard to the bloodstream’s rhythm - becoming something independent til it dies with the stomach’s fullness. guzheng and dizi world-making independently. (Rooster is eating brunch)

n0 moon, 2 visible stars in the night haze, waves beating the eastern shore gently - piling in westward from the Haro Strait, the seaweeds are black or translucent when the sun takes he rest

gathering dirt as assigned

staring at the evening primrose as the sun goes

up at 2am listenin to Donnell Jones with all the lights on, feelin like its the afternoon

in the Kongo Universe before any other one - not contained by anything that can be explained with words - disciplined by the patterns of the seasons and elements - continual and spiraling to an unending growth - memory is heartbeat and bones in the air —(notes from today’s no phone session)

اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالحَزَنِ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ غَلَبَةِ الدَّيْنِ وَقَهْرِ الرِّجَالِ.
