As has happened before, the initial push and pull required to properly escape into a life on the road has made time for writing, and even for reflection, pretty scarce. I am hoping now that I am fully "out there" I will be able to establish some discipline.
I am in a lovely rented beach house just off the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland. Watching the sun slowly waken everything to life. Most notably the 4 children under 10 who are right now fighting over something in the other room. There is a very sweet dog cuddled up next to me. I'm not sure where the other adults are.
I am here on the invitation of my friends, their children, the wife's polyamorous boyfriend and his son. They rented the place for the weekend because it's the off season and it's much cheaper and it is the wife's birthday (perhaps why the husband's girlfriend isn't here. I don't ask for details or specifics as it isn't my business).
My business is petting this dog. And sometimes petting the other dog that occasionally comes into the room. My business is assuring you, dear diary, that I am still alive.
I want to write about my first ten days of traveling. The cities I went to, the woman I traveled with. But not today. Not right now.
I will say that I have been kind of secretly and terribly sick for the last few days. Stomach stuff. A lot of vomiting. And some terrible headaches. But it all comes and goes, so I am not too worried (yet).
I will say that there has been much beauty and a fair amount of joy.
I will say that I am lost and clueless but have surrendered myself to the cosmos and whatever she wills for me.
I will say that I love and miss everyone and everything I have ever known.
Write more soon.
