is a precious need for me
met yesterday
belonging
another and related
also
contribution
is the one that really completes
the circle
perhaps prayer then grows
the spiral

i get peripheral at stop signs
was my thought
as i careened down silver street
past other streets
as we seek to exchange secrets
like how european
and much of latin american culture
has it way over us
good food, quality of life
some connection to the Earth
no matter how small
is precioso
tambien

i am thinking with such a hard turn
a pensar en Espanol
i am not even practicing
i am just soaking it up
energetically
i'm sinking deeply into
my italian roots
i know it's all illusion
that i'm latin after all, right?
hence el decription de un Chileno
de los Argenitnos
un poco mas italiano
es muy interesante
y los lecciones aparecen
bien

i hope to find my people there
of course
a little south of Aztlan
maybe they were the farm community
i saw on youtube
where they do contact improv
dancing
to beautiful music all day long
duh
-----
now my Chilean ex would have corrected me
after gritting her teeth listening to me
i guess i am reclaiming her
as my last actual girlfriend
i miss her insults
now i can thumb my nose
like a raging Maradonna
across mutually admiring borders
-----
it's not a question of if
i go
it's a question of how
and when
-----
it's good to find my people here too
i sat in with several bands yesterday
thinking each of them had invited me to join them
meanwhile those guys never made it onstage
played mando groove
to a songwriter viola duet
played violin on all out improv
along with a healing harpist who was
perfectly synchronized with electric bass
how can one just not shine at a benefit gathering
the benevolence was palpable
musically all i could think of
is Dios Mio
somebody play a ranchera!

community
my next song
albuquerque means there's always a headwind
belonging
i educate people by the way i ride my bicycle claiming the right of way on the new bike crossings for the benefit of all mankind
contribution
prayer
eros?
