There is no birth of consciousness without pain.

Listening to Summer Camp... lots of warped hazy tones.
Looking forward to the rest of their sounds off their Young EP

Yesterday
Woke early. Adventures through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Discovered Crestone, a remote town of angry hippies.
Revisited Sand Dunes.
Warmth from the sun on my face, dry air keeping my back cool, and the buzzing of bugs on trails.
I continually reaffirm that the west is my home.

Today
Early morning, the cats tackled each other and occasionally jumped around my head.
I woke several times but knew I wasn't ready.
Each time my eyes opened, I would watch as the sun filled and brightened the bedroom.
By 8am I was ready.
By 9am, simple pleasures: chocolate milk.
By noon, happy discovery: root beer milk.
By 1pm, 85 degrees F, getting ready to go to Spruce Mountain.

Thinking about…
Polaroids, wanting to shoot more,
buying and shooting super-8 film,
trip to NYC at end of October to see Sean,
buying new non-plastic frames for my face,
how tasty this root beer milk is…
