Vital Signs

2004-02-16, Amazon Basin, Ecuador

Previous | All | Next

 
  

Unstable condition

A symptom of life

In mental and environmental change

Atmospheric disturbance

The feverish flux
of human interface and interchange.

A tired mind become a shape-shifter

Everybody need a mood lifter

Everybody need reverse polarity

Everybody got mixed feelings
about the function and the form

Everybody got to deviate from the norm

One year ago, this week, I began life in the U.S. Peace Corps. These last 12 months have been the slowest of my life.

I sometimes ask myself: Can I stick it out for another year? And yet, I have given myself only one choice.

I´m already through the half-way mark. The finish line lies ahead, however far it might seem!

Solititude, frustration, boredom. Some of the feelings I experience while living in a tiny village far from home. Crossing off the months in my calendar. Sometimes anxiously anticipating the arrival of 2005, yet swimming in the eternal now, wherein lies the IS.

Bagels with cream cheese. Jamba Juice. Burritos.

A psychological game. I´m tinkering with my mental circuitry.

See through the eyes of the universe, and realeyes that the passage of time is tunnel vision gone awry.
