The other day I was sitting and just thinking. Just thinking just thinking and the world "existential" appeared in my head. I don't know much about existentialism, at least not the intellectual/academic side of it. The only thing I could think of next was "existential. exist. we exist. i exist." ok. However, right now, right this second, I am not so convinced that I actually exist. Highway 1 at 1 am. An invisible coast line to my left. I must be headed north. Pure blackness of the night but I know the ocean is there. Sometimes I can see the crests of the waves. Pure white against black. Gestalt. Here is something I never told you. The night we went to Nykita's beltane celebration ... as you slept in the back of the car, the speedometer read 100 before I caught myself. I was so desperate to get home. I thought of that tonight as I drove but this time chai from Saturn Cafe fueled me so my eyes were not heavy. There was no fog. The road was clear. We are all time bombs.
