Allow me to introduce myself
I took a much needed road trip and headed to Hotlanta to see my friend(s) and my brother’s family. It was an unique occasion to have two of my closest friends in the same city, along with Madonna, who was the reason for the trip and turned out to be an after thought. Madonna was Madonna on steroids – she kicked up her tour from the Sticky & Sweet tour that we saw in Houston not too many years ago. The Confessions concert tour remains our favorite as we knew all the songs and liked them. However, just watching the spectacle of her show was like taking acid and going to a light show – insane.
And then there was time with friends – one from high school and one from the last decade – and both important in my life in a myriad of ways. We covered all topics from death to living to reincarnation and also one unfortunate fact – they both live so far away from me that it takes “trips” to see them.
I drove there and drove back in record time – 467 miles in under seven hours each way. And time on the road was well spent – from listening to Bill Moyers describe the institutionalized crime that the Republican Party has become to Ram Das talking about the quiet mind.
I returned home enlightened in more ways than one. And grateful in many ways for the love that guides me along this journey and always waits for me to come home.
