Welcome to another installment and opportunity for you to
get to know me better, and hopefully also a chance for you to get to know
yourself better at the same time.
For those of you who have not read any of my previous
autobiographical action adventure stories… I will tell you… my stories are
meant to serve three purposes:
(1) To allow me to express my own thoughts and feelings, for
the selfish reason of my own self-awareness and betterment.
(2) I hope some of you will perceive it as gift to you, to
be able to become more aware of your own thoughts and feelings, in such a way
that you may also gain personal insight and therefore benefit in some way,
within yourself.
(3) Simply for something to distract you for a while.
Although I have lived almost my entire life in this three
dimensional world that we refer to as reality… I have also experienced brief
moments in a completely different reality, and it is at these times when I feel
most alive, nourished, and grateful to be alive.
I have chosen to use my three dimensional adventures, out on
the open roads of our Country, as a vehicle to travel into the inner realms of
the vastness which exists inside each of us.
Personally, I am most comfortable when I am exploring these regions of
duality… the physical geography of the Country where my body thrives, and the
emotional geography of my soul where my spirit resides.

As soon as I turned over and saw the clock, I knew my four
hours of rest was gonna have to do. Over
the years, I've learned to be able to tell the difference right away, between
waking up and being able to go back to sleep, versus waking up and not. I envy the people who can lounge in bed…
waking up slowly… enjoying the semi dream state of that la la land. Sometimes I can
relax and enjoy this state of (semi) awareness, but typically once my brain
starts turning… it's like a rollercoaster… an E ticket ride, as I like to say.

It didn't take me very long to find my way back to The Grand
Hotel (in Jerome, AZ). I'd stopped there
on my last trip thru the area, and had a great time… with the employees
mostly. Young college aged kids, with
lots of good fun spirit. I usually
identify more with the younger generations than I do with my own. So many of the people my age are just too
old.
None of the kids that had been there during my last visit were
there, but Jason the bartender told me he'd heard about me from Kayla and Matt,
who weren't working that day. I love
it. I have a reputation. It's nice to know that once in a while, all
my hard work and effort pays off.
