for over half a century. it's really amazing how fast it's all gone by.
lucky to have lived the relatively pampered life of being born in a prosperous land full of milk and honey called the united states of america for most of that time and quite pampered living on continents where i have called home for a short time as well.
of course the color of my skin has helped put plenty of wind in the sails of my ship along the way to this life of relative ease.
nothing has been remotely like the seeming prosper of what i see in other's instagram feed or a beverly hillbilly turn of fortune but looking at what is out there in the world beyond tv and it's usa bias of hiding away the happenings of the rest of the world i have been blessed beyond measure.
now there is this virus, the economics, the social unrest that the usa must one day reckon with.
this husk I've encapsulated for 56 años has known from grade school that the lie existed and continues unabated, talked about in certain circles, progress slowly made but no real reckoning.
and what am i doing to make the world a better place? pissed off driving home on the southern california freeway system because people (assholes like me) are in my way.
I don't know. sometimes i want to just go. leave everything behind and live as a monk. Im a good complainer, but what am i doing to make anything change.
do monks ride bikes?
