Sometimes when all else fails one has to rely on stream of consciousness for help. It just gave me that title, not too bad really. I’m staring at the February overcast sky trying to find some feature or break but it is endlessly homogeneous like a milkshake or a washcloth as Tom Robbins put it. And just then a fast moving flock of unnamed birds flew through my gaze giving me a hint that maybe I should search elsewhere.
I have two more chapters of Tim Egan’s book left unread and I am trying to savor that. And in the meantime everyone and their brother has read this book. Everyone that is in my neighborhood anyway. We are even calling him Tim now all of a sudden. How cool are we, like he is the guy next door? Anyway, pilgrimage seems to be a juicy topic but we already know that.
Henriette is coming today speaking of authors, to interview me and walk and have tapas. I told you already but I have some part in her new book about Cancer and the Camino just to review. That is not the title but just what I call it, a working title it is. There, look at those two topics joined together, one juicy and one powerful and desperately in need of help. It’s the clash of the titans. This so needs to happen and work itself out. Thank you Henriette for taking this on.
And as I wait for her to drive in the yard I will try and put the finishing touches on my business books for ‘19 and try to get on top of my taxes. I am doing pretty good with this and am trying to keep on time. But that is a whole story that is boring and totally unnecessary here at the moment. But wish me luck anyway.
Well, time to go and try and make sense of things, the eternal quest.
eternal quest loves, Felipé.
“Cancer and the Camino, clash of the Titans”–I like that! And I’m working on it. We seem to be in the same spot. Your blog on Friday, with Curt’s chilling story of the man who was knifed in the neck, Timothy Egan’s Pilgrimage to Eternity—all part of the Boundary Experience. I mentioned to you today, as we walked, about Alcoholics Anonymous’s expression to help you stay clean. I told you it was, “Keep it real.” I look it up in Put Your Heart on Paper, and even better, the mantra is, “Keep it green.”
Cancer keeps it green.
Camino keeps it green.
Phil’s Backyard Camino keeps it green.
Your blog keeps it green.
Keeping it real, keeping it green,
Henriette Anne
Henriette ~ you are so pumped! I keep thinking about your story of going around and in the other door to write. I may blog on that. Thanks for your visit! Felipé.x
