Gypsy Apocalypse

The day started out dark and we were scared of our own shadows. Everything was bare and concrete buildings loomed in the distance. Omens, tall and mighty.

Still, we walked on, finally finding respite amongst a clearing. It was at this moment that we caught a glimmer of hope - the light was no longer cold and frightening. It was warm and inviting, begging us to rest in its rays.

But as you know - travelers find no rest. And when you are amidst an apocalypse, those patches of warmth are just like a mirage in the desert. We will continue to rely on layers and each other to keep our skin & bones warm.

Dia De Los Muertos

And we rose from the grave, with saturated glow and hollowed countenance from eternal rest.  Rest we do not on this day, for it is the only day that souls take substantial form -- clothed with jubilance and freedom from the tangible being.  The only being to be is not being.  The only "being" actually being half(mostly)-imagined, in our own minds and the minds of others.  With the colors that dance and vibrate behind closed eyes finally freed to roam our waking existence, we walk on in a parade of not "being" but "been."

In came the heatwave

Summer sweet, summer sweat; in comes the heatwave, out go the clothes.
