On New Year’s Day, a strange woman spoke to me as if we knew each other and two poinsetta plants appeared on my doorstep.
Craving to be Transformed

My illness did not make me a stronger person: it made it hard, very hard to express myself.
Green January

It rained all day today and whenever I woke from the nap I enforced on myself because of a migraine, it felt like a drill chiseling a hole at the apex of my eyebrow.
Existing as Nonexistence

Does nonexistence mean no accountability for my actions?
Dream
Posted on January 1, 2006 in Dreams
I am driving my truck down a highway which dips up and down like a rollercoaster. I get to the top of one divide and look down into the drop. There is a car blocking my lane. It appears to have been run over from side to side, almost cut in half. I pull out my cell phone as I roll slowly down the hill past the car and into a tunnel where there are more cars in similar condition, smashed and rolled upside down or onto their sides. The 911 operator answers. I begin describing what I see, then notice the paramedics trying to extricate people from the automobiles. “I guess you already know about this,” I say. There’s a garbled reply as I exit the tunnel. I look over the right side into a striped badland. Two dark olive UPS trucks lie in a heap, their broad sides battered. I say to myself “This didn’t happen to me. This didn’t happen to me. Mercifully, this didn’t happen to me.”
