going and moving through

before leaving on my firsts of many and many firsts trip

i was in a very interesting space

working on some new material that i was quite drawn too, unexpectedly so

but was so new in ways that i also felt a need to get away from it all, as if, what was coming out

was just too clear

so clear, i couldn’t see it

and it was disconcerting in the least

so i went to the desert

not knowing what joshua tree had in store for me

what this desert would say to me

all i knew, is that it would definitely be the one doing the talking

and oh boy did it, in ways never before imagined.

it pulls you down and says look at me, and if you don’t pay attention

you’ll walk into a cactus

it waves hello and says here i am

and if you don’t see it

you end up stuck way high up on a rock wondering what you are doing

here

it calls out and says

listen

and if you don’t pay attention, it keeps on calling
