Things have changed. If fact so much has denatured that nothing looks familiar anymore. Absolutely nothing. Everything is taken for granted or completely ignored. Nothing is worth our attention anymore. From the beheading to all out war. Nothing changes us anymore. We don't see what is obviously right in front of us. The earth is changing it's weather because of our interaction with nature. We don't see what is happening with our new found love of our pets and other animals to the senseless cruelty we show to each other over wealth and greed. The time is near. So you really should keep sending all the peace messages and show your love for all living creatures and organisms and especially learn how to survive without your precious phone and internet. The time is near.
There is a new earth right around the corner. An earth inhabited by all forms of species that interact and co-exist including the human species.
The human species on this new earth has been reduced in numbers and humbled dramatically finally understanding that effects of their thumbprint on the entire universe and how the universe finally took care of the problem.
The humans have learned that all of their medicine and all of their technology did not compare to what love and the sacred flower marijuana could do. They finally realized the power of sharing and the power of the plant and now live a miraculously beautiful life and just don't exist with work being the primary focus. To be high and to love one another is the grand task ahead of the human race. Getting those things done that used to be done with work are taken care of with just a few hours focus each day. The rest of the day is for playing, making love, meditation and getting high through it all.
There are no more human restrictions on human love. Love between human beings is not based upon male or female. It is simply based upon love.
Religion and the concept of marriage is not necessary in this new world because there are no boundaries to what can be achieved, what can be experienced and what can be felt.
I handed Annie the pamphlet, “Have you seen this?”
Annie looked at the book and said, “Yea silly I've seen this. It's the new idea going around. It's gaining some leverage. I know the couple that started it. I think you met them once.”
I turned to Annie and ask, “How did we get out of that situation with the women where they were going to eat me and Ardy?”
Annie got the strangest look on her face. As if I were a stranger exposing myself t her. “Gunnar what are you talking about? Maybe it was on of the alternative universes. I don't know what you are talking about.”
I tried a couple more times to explain the previous experience but she wasn't going to hear it. She ignored me completely and became noticeably agitated. I finally gave up.
As the day lingered on and it was nothing more than picking music to listen to on the computer and taking naps my mind continued to process all the various places I had visited and especially my life with Annie Cosmic and Aardvark Diggs. Thinking of them both and actually seeing their names in my mind for some reason took them both out of the current pane of experience. I was alone at two in the morning in front of my computer. I was at the gulag, the nursing home rehab center. It was my last Friday night at the place and I could honestly say that I was not feeling any sense of loss. I was not going to miss this place at all.
After a long recovery I was finally being set free to go and live in a little one bedroom apartment in Columbus. I was both excited beyond belief and a little frightened.
I was listening to my roommate tear through whatever the hell he did there on his side of the room and smelling his foul body. I I figured he must be doing what he called changing himself because he had pissed himself again.
I've said it before but in the seven months that I have been here I have only seen this poor bastard take one shower. His body is a rank and terrible smell whenever he “changes”. It always sounds like he is wrestling with a fucking bear back there behind that curtain. His panting gets heavy and that gasp of breath that he does that just about makes me pass out.
I never thought my life would end up this way. I don't know why I thought it would be any different. All of us end up alone in the end. This place is so crowded with people who are so very alone.
I know Annie and Ardy are just around the corner and they will show up when they are needed and when I am also needed by them.
My daughter Sunflower and my grandson Wyeth will always be there even if it is only in my heart and mind and my brother and his family will always be there. I also know that my mother and my other two brothers and their families are always there but it still can seem so lonely sitting here a prisoner of this wheel chair listening to one album after another of Elton John.
I wish there was something more to say but I think it has all been said. A new life and a new adventure begins on Tuesday. I am going to be sixty years old in January and I am just beginning to live. Ironic in so many ways.
So this was the story of a man recovering in a nursing home. I have no idea what it means or if it matters to anyone else but it matters to me.
Annie and me will have out adventures and I'll share them as they occur and good old Aardvark Diggs will be there to add a little spice to the mix sometimes. It's all an adventure.
It's all consciousness. It's all right here, right now and it's fucking beautiful.
cool peace
