Hey y’all, I’m back.🍃
After some explorations of the mind & diving into the depths of the fungi teachers, weeding out things from my life that no longer serve me & forgiving those who’ve hurt me while also forgiving myself for those I’ve hurt in my life. I finally feel like I’m in a space where I can express it freely & let it go.
None of us owe each other any obligation but due to my last story, I asked for help which was very vulnerable for me to do & I feel a certain sense of obligation to report it. I got a new deep cycle battery for my vehicle and some food as well. I’m currently saving up for an alternator & also to be able to pay a mechanic but thankfully I’m in a space where I can move my car & save up from street performing. Thank you all for the support & donations. This was my first time asking for help online in 7+ years of living full time on the road & it truly showed me the support I have which has value far beyond any amount of money & it left me feeling held & appreciated by all the communities I’m tied to (*this last sentence specifically goes a special shout out directly to the Austin PD who took my IG handle after breaking my 1st amendment right. I’m not afraid of you, see me as I am & embrace me, I hold no fear…*) Anyways, it taught me another level of vulnerability & being open to receiving & reciprocity. So in addition to so many reasons why I live the way I do, you’ve given me another reason to do this, not just for me but for us. For uplifting the community however I can.
After I fix my car, I’ll be hitting the road but my plans shifted and I’m traveling to the east coast to dive into community out there & to also explore the spirit of where the people of this country are at, as an amateur cultural anthropologist. Those who I told I was gonna go to Lake Tahoe, I’m planning to be there mid July, god willing. I’ll be starting off with New Orleans, then Alabama, Mississippi, Nashville, Louisville, Indiana, maybe Chicago & Detroit to see Motown Records 😍, then Philly, NYC, Toronto, maybe Vermont & Maine, then DC, Asheville, ATL, then back west through Colorado, Taos, Utah, & ultimately Cali & Oregon.
