i've got some sort of Big Thought incubating. I have NO idea what it is. But it IS there, just out of view.
the new National Geographic was a clue. Stories on Dolphins and BEEs! and of all things, Detroit. Who'd guess. Detroit. I was born in Detroit. Spent my late teens and very early 20's back in Detroit.
i thought about when we are young, we get an Idea and we go for it. Then at some point along the way, we get some kind of Image of Who We Are and we begin Feeding this image.
What if i sold everything. Bought a big horse trailer, took the Old Cowboy's Chevy 4 wheel drive truck that is really mine now and just took off.
I have a friend, Wendy. Still there. She never left. I had my first Real apartment with her. She has one of the houses in Detroit...one of the old really beauty FULL ones with beveled glass everything, oak door casings, it's Elegant. It's still an ok neighborhood, her's. Barely. What if i showed up. Me and the Goats, Chinche, Tazmeena and Tay. And unloaded in her back yard. There's a guy who has a hydroponic talapia farm. What if i wandered the outlying areas of the inner city with this Herd of Goats. Cleaning and fertilizing neighborhoods? Can we SEE it???????
MANY invisible baste stitches today and i keep fooling with the face
