Cosmic Lemongrass

Every morning at 6 you go to the farm.

You cut lemongrass, load it into the van and drive to the spa.

Trim the lemongrass.

Deliver the lemongrass to male / female areas.

Lay the lemongrass on a wire mesh above stones in steam and sauna rooms.

Sliced lemons garnish lemongrass.

Turn on the heat.

Rising temperatures. Steam reaches 50. Sauna 55.

Pour water over lemons / lemongrass in the sauna.

Sweet heat.

Swivel the glass thermometer filled with pink sand on the wall.

It flows for 20 minutes.

Sit on a wooden bench.

Inhale - here.

Exhale - now.

the long now

Events, characters, setting, impressions. Energies and frequencies.

Remember Coco speaking in Fujian, China? She watched all the university students walk past the old village people. "They are all peasants."

Years later the rich Chinese man in Laos served you fresh green Fujian tea at the Luang Prabang guesthouse. "Children are tools," he said. He had two. They arrived in a Raging Rover using GPS.

Discernment with sensitivity.

Engaged by a stimulus. Disengaged from a stimulus.

Truth-Force.

Signal-Noise

High season in V. Perfect for drawing twilight as scooters mumble putt putt exhausted fear based laughter succumbing to circumstance. Yoke said a verb is a condition. Her insight was victorious. Word got back that all but three 8th grade students were caught cheating on their Lao exams. No surprise there. Delight in the sly, cunning attitude.

On 10 November determination chopped ice, shifting passive years, gears and fears into a zonal transparency of blank eyes. Is-land tourists became localized stimuli wandering blank.

It's a meaningful coincidence.

We are literary outlaws.

Explanation is a well dressed mistake.

The long now.

We connect the dots forward. Play an infinite game of chess.

Checkmate, said Death.

Content vs form.

Existence precedes essence.
