even cowgirls get the bleus
i seem to be dragging..
this blistery sugar lump on my left foot
is singing the blues..
the library in hoodsport
is open at 1pm..
it's 10 in the morning.
i dunno what made me do it..
i stick out my thumb
ready to get to shelton..
no sooner than later,
chuck from oregon stops..
"i haven't picked up a hitchhiker in years,
but something told me..."
heading to shelton? i ask..
no wait..
how 'bout olympia?
"right on my way..
know olympia like the back of my hand!"
he drops me at the urban onion..
right in front of the foot shoppe..
barbara and dave send me to the gov's
dennis kucinich is in towne at 4:30
about 200 people show up..
"HUMAN UNITY IN AFFIRMING DIVERSITY."
he and his wife elizabeth are creating
the 9/10 forum..
who were we before 9/11?
find our true size, find our voice
the crowd was shimmering with eager faces..
they each have a peace is healthy sticker..
read the article in the olympian..
from the heart..non-violence..
i walk into the wet afternoon..
the ladies in black are streaked across the sidewalk..
so dramatic with their black umbrellas,
the folded flag..
the black and white peace sign.
at the grocery store, a woman across the produce
department smiles at me..
"ellen?"
i return her smile..
hello!
"ellen?
no, you're not ellen..."
i laugh and say no..
but we could pretend i was!
we find each other in the clear eye..
we give one another a hearty hug..
we find each other's true name..
she tells me we will meet again..
every moment make it real..
find the way to say:
not two.
i have arrived at the now of the blog..
had the opportunity to have a yoga class
with miguel at the "Y"
to the music of flamingo guitar..
the peace stickers arrive from watermark..
if you would like to make an offering
to postage and continued printing..
give a call:
360 293-4277
palms together!
whew!

# 9
the # 9 cabin at beacon point has the best shower
on the canal..and some of the best soft boiled eggs
i've had since sallie's..
ken said he learned the magic of soft boiled
from his father..or was that his mother?
we rummaged through his trinket box and
found the gift he was to offer to the next house.
a guardian angel pin..
turns out it goes to his next door neighbors,
dele and kathy!
dele brought ken the morning paper;
we met and i asked if he knew of any
place to stay down the road.
"i'm president of the lilliwaup
community club; you can stay there!"
yippee i o ki aye! i have a place to stay!
lilliwaup is 12 miles along the coast.
easy walkin'!
across the hamma hamma river..
some of the most tender landscape..
kathy, dele's wife made me a sandwich..
she was delighted with ken's gift
and sent along a small starfish and
an oyster pearl for the next host.
i met bob at ken's;
he comes by each morning to visit.
a retired professor..
we spoke of prescription drugs and hearing loss..
boats, and walking..
as i left ken's,
he put a peace sticker on his window.
"that will give them something to talk about!"

another roadside attraction
have you seen it?
just the other side of walker mountain, i believe!
a must see....
a gathering of everything under the sun and the moon..
could not have made it over the mountain
were it not for fred's fantabulous lunch..
he thought of everything..
it was the carrots, celery and the little debbie's
that saved me from blood sugar madness!
met a road worker..lovely lady holding the stop/slow sign..
we high fived
and what do you know..
i see her just outside of hoodsport..
two days later!
miles away..
she asks;
you still walkin'?
indeedy!
thank the high holies for kris k.
she once again saved the evening
as i head to ken l.'s cabin
"just around the corner"
from duckabush river..
still raining..
babar, my elephant is wrapped up in holly's raincoat..
i am walking
into the mobius strip of eternal wet!
i give ken a jingle..
he is 80
and the mayor of beacon point resorts..
a line of holiday cottages that have been
sold for permanent residences..
honey, he says..
if i were you i'd stick out my thumb..
i keep walkin'
call him many more miles down the road..
it is almost 5 in the afternoon..
just around the corner he says..
oookay!
i keep walkin'
then i do it..
out goes my thumb..
cars whiz by..
well, the only one for 10 minutes..
walk and hitch
and lo!
along comes frank from oregon..
"you know, i haven't picked up a hitchhiker
in years but something just told me..."
and i tell him..
i haven't hitched for years but something just told me
that just around the corner was miles away..
and it was..
at least 4 more..
we find ken's,
i blow frank a kiss;
knock on the door..
there is ken..
cooking dinner..
in you come, he says..
in i go..
laundry in the wash,
the honeymooner's on tv over dinner..
peaches and ice cream for dessert..
the first hummingbirds show up..
ken is on it for sugar water.
he describes himself as a neo-conservative.
i tell him i hang in the middle way..
he thinks i'm smart!
we have a fine evening..
early to bed with a good night kiss on the cheek..
the water, the wind lulling me to the sleep
on his pull out sofa.

a e i o u
i have never taken typing ..
much to my mama's chagrin..
and the typing teacher, mrs. thomas..
though i think she was relieved that i never enrolled..
my reputation preceded me.
where am i now?
in olympia..
at the governor hotel..
my project manager, dave and his lovely wife, b
(we were 18 together..oyi)
have bought me a room..
she and i stayed at this very place..some 10 years ago!
there is internet which i am usurping..
tammy, an angel of mercy,
at the front desk assures me i'm fine..
she has given me the corporate rate..
i am here on business..!
that is.. blister business..
seems my left big toe mount
has thickened up like a sugar daddy..
remembre those?
lesley, across the way
has soaked
and scrubbed
and rubbed
and sanded
...my foot is almost as good as new!
it is quite a treat to spread out my pack..
aire out the gear...
i do my best to be stealth when i am a guest..
ah! solitary refinement!
kucinich is in towne at traditions cafe..
just down the street..
opened up the paper to find my afternoon activity.
i will help dick, the owner set up chairs..
the department of peace..
"what difference does it make to the dead, the orphans,
and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought
under the name of totalitarianism
or the holy name of liberty and democracy?"
"there are many causes i am prepared to die for
but no cause that i am prepared to kill for."
"the truth is far more powerful
than any weapon of mass destruction."
"you must be the change you want to see in the world."
