el Camino de la Vida

What an email to receive yesterday, upon the happy rejuvenation of the blackberry. None other than long lost Laura, of Generator fame and the famous "how do you say, I would like to kiss with you" line of 2002 I have told so oft. The cosmic jokes of this spectacular universe truly have no end.

Another sign to pursue the Spanish language and upcoming San Fermin trip, I suppose. But it does leave you shaking your head in wonder. Leafing through that journal, it is amazing the spirit and memories that ooze so easily from the old rambling notes - the recording of moments in real time even as they slip away, capturing the boisterous and pure freedom of youth so neatly.

Now it is a somewhat wiser, certainly better educated version of yourself that nevertheless longs for the absurdity and potential of the much loved open road. But always the same strange circling back to consistent concepts, in different times and circumstances - the philosophies of heightened randomness and maximum laughter.

So it shall be again, soon.
