My mighty chariot for the next to last leg of the road trip. It’s my first hybrid ride. Enjoyable. A rare occurrence, my second visit to an Applebees.
I ordered parmesan garlic boneless wings with blue cheese dipping sauce and a diet soda to go. I attempted to add a Bloody Mary. The waitress said, “I can’t do that. This is Alabama.” Sweet Home Alabama 😂😂😂😂😂
The front sidewalk at the Best Western.

1. This time of year is difficult. Both my parents died around this time 12 years ago. Their deaths cast a pale over the holiday season that I have yet to shake off.
2. I am happy to announce my update to Xyborg Nomad 3.0. I got the Moderna booster recently.
This has been a priority for me. I wanted to receive the booster before I moved to a more rural setting where there is less access to vaccine sources and other purveyors of potions in general.
3. One nice thing about this time of year is that it’s eggnog in season. I love eggnog.

In the moment we each chose our path. Yes, somethings are beyond our control. Even then we can choose our response. Each now contains a myriad of possibilities. We can make our routine, comfortable and often unexamined choice or we can select our equivalent to “the one less traveled”.
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. ~ Robert Frost

1. Here is a challenge for you. Every morning for 7 or more days, “say this out loud to see how it feels: “I know exactly what I want. I know exactly what I don’t want. I know exactly what I kind of want but I won’t waste my time on it because it sidetracks me from working on what I really want.” ~ Rob Brezsny
2. Another man I know died from Covid.
3. Starting with dried chickpeas changes my entire hummus plan. Starting with dry beans is so much better and makes a smoother hummus. I won’t need to purchase a food processor.

On the dash of my rig I set up what I call the “Not an Altar”. It changes from month to month and is added to by other people on the bus.
Day 16
I tried a new dish: purple cabbage, garlic, yellow onions, potatoes, and turkey sausage. Delicious
Day 17
I’m gonna miss this when he is gone. My traveling companion is going home in a few days. I’m sure I’ll miss grilled cheese sandwiches, Mac-n-cheese, and chicken nuggets. Those are some of his favorite foods. I’ll miss his laughter and all the unschooling. I’ll miss him being my shadow everywhere I went. 😢
Day 18
Soon the kid bike will be gone. Life at World Headquarters will be radically different.
Day 19Day 20
I will miss the child’s things laying around. The box in this picture contains the plushy collection.
Day 21 and off they go.

1. When you are raised by humans you take on all the traits and shit they teach you. All that has been part of my shadow work during the time of Covid isolation. I’ve dropped some things and thought some new thoughts.
2. Thinking new thoughts is an ongoing process in 2021. The shadow work is too. How? I meditate. I’m learning to play the ukulele. I read different things. I look at different artists. I watch different videos. I go different places. Hopefully, I’ll be able to talk with more people this year. I’m trying different media.
3. I got my first Covid vaccination at a nearby Walmart store. I received the Moderna vaccine. It went well. No problems at all. 👍 The second shot is March 16th at the same store.

It’s only been a couple of days and the list is getting redundant. This isn’t everything. It’s just the ones I managed to get on the list.
Day 86 At the pier Day 87 OSHO Zen Tarot Exploring the depths of inner silence, where it meets the silence of the universe. Nothing to do, no where to go, the inner silence observes everything. It can annoy someone because they are accustomed to all the world’s noise and activities. That’s ok. I’ll find someone who can sympathize with silence, someone to enjoy my loneliness. Now, it is time to find who I was before they told who to be. The understanding and self-enlightenment that is happening at this point, will be revealed later, in an easier stage of life.Day 88 Chains Day 89 Each morning he and I are regulars on the pier. Day 90 Covid is spreading rapidly in this area. So what’s the “control the spread” plan? How about a street festival?Day 91 Covid is smothering me. Day 92 My Covid Mood

Odd day vibes feels Floating Drifting Wonderingly wandering Limbo Illusion Delusion Confusion Disconnect Not 2 The Void Vastness A point of creative space
Lots of my time in the last few months has been spent in daily meditation and self reflection.
Just as the CCE was beginning these words drifted into my awareness, “I am just a concept in my mind and a different concept in the minds of those who know me”. These words were my jumping off point. I always trust my cape and I’m known to jump. Additionally, Ram Dass’ ideas on becoming nobody crept into the mix.
Finally, “thinking different thoughts” was added when I read, “It was found that the average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those thousands of thoughts…95% were exactly the same repetitive thoughts as the daybefore”. ~ TLEX Institute New thoughts seemed a good idea.
As these ideas swirled in my heart and mind they came together and chipped away at the foundations supporting the concepts of who I am.The ties that bind, loosened. My concept of myself, “ego” if I can go there, is out of focus.
It is scary. It is unnerving. Ask Lama Google, there is a fine line separating the mystic and the lunatic. As I voyage into these waters once more, there is a sense of disconnecting that is disconcerting. There is a sense of disappearing into the void that is both comforting and scary. What will be lost? What will be found?
I remember “It’s ok to be nobody”. Enjoy the view. There is nothing else to do.
Thank you for stopping and interacting. You bring joy to my heart. Stay safe and well out there in the CCE. I love you.
