a place to be and a good cat ~ December 15, 2001 - 10:39 p.m. okay, so I'm back in the world, sorta... it doesn't really feel like I've returned yet, as such... I still haven't been home. insofar as I have a home. ozone came to pick me up after the retreat, and then we went traveling, camping, wandering around... a week later, we are still on the road. ashland, oregon, at the moment. we spent a couple of days in yosemite, but it's TOO DAMN COLD this time of year. I'm no good at cold. I've realized, though, that I'm getting to be a road-weary angel... I'm starting to crave home, and I don't have one. the winter rains have started. you need a place to be and a good cat, my mother wrote me. YOU may even need a dog-- I, however, will never come to that. she's right, mom is from time to time. a place to be and a good cat. it doesn't seem like so much to ask. the retreat was good though-- and hard, incredibly grueling. I keep meaning to write about it, hopefully I'll actually get around to it. it was a strange world to inhabit for ten days, but I'm really glad I did it. we're flying to milwaukee for christmas, and I'm looking forward to it. hell, I dig my family. I guess I'm lucky that way. it's taken me a long time to make peace with them, but now I really enjoy them. and harley's there. harley's a good cat. just what I need right about now. I'll get back to you on the rest.
