Plenty and Full

A very late night… as if I had nowhere else to be… just letting conversations live their own lives, free and unfettered… I think every night should be Friday night, without clocks, without Saturday morning rules, without any reminders that time is moving on…. being okay with hours slipping around or time getting lost in a vacuum… sometimes it is not meant to be counted or held down or watched… the sun will still rise, the earth will keep spinning, I will wake up eventually…

After tonight’s show and all the campfire chats finished themselves, I just got in the car and drove… didn’t know where I would be sleeping… I didn’t really care… thought I would just go until I started getting tired…. so I drove for a few hours, eventually found a cheap hotel, and crashed into bed around 5am…

The entire day today was the same…. I just floated in my head and didn’t pay much attention to when or where…. I did not turn the radio on all day… no music… no radio chatter… only silence…. the entire day….. sort of a media fast… 6 hours of driving in complete silence… with only my own thoughts and voice to keep me company or entertained… it’s good to have a life soundtrack, but sometimes, the sound of the wind, or moving wheels on pavement, or the thump and squeaks of passing big wheelers, or the rhythm of the turn signal, or your own loose cannon imagination… is plenty and full…
