two dreams

i dreamt i was in a creaking, wooden, smallish, very old, haunted-type house with several other people. i think robert fripp was one of the others. guys wearing dark glasses in vans were surrounding the house, ready to kill us if we stepped outside. they cut the phone lines, turned off the gas and the water. i tried to sneak out a window, but they saw me.

i dreamed that i was going to have sex with the girl from my capoeira class with the dyed-red hair. we found a private little area, and made out, and got naked. i got out a strip of packages of condoms. i opened up the first one, which tore. damn. i opened the second one and it's made of a thick green foamy substance, and it wouldn't unroll. the third was made of rubbery gauze, for wrapping up your cock mummy-style. after several more strange condoms, i finally found a normal one, and we're all sweaty, and ready to get it on, and she vanishes, and i'm left in a room illuminated by a dark television showing pornographic films, with a useless condom on.

attempting to not feel too melancholy. (shouldn't fight it, ACCEPTANCE!)

especially because tensions at work are at an all time high. which IS saying a lot.
got to maintain cool. stay relaxed.

took a walk with my dad today, he got winded really quickly, which was a little alarming for me, but we trudged on for quite a while.
we saw the most enormous red belted polypore i've ever seen!
it was huge. probably weighed about 30 or 40 pounds.
that type of conk is so common around these parts, they look like goblins of our woods.

caerie and i drove hwy 7 into lyons, which i haven't done for about 13 or 14 years.
it's so nice going different ways to get out of our mountains.
seeing the granite disappear under the philadelphia sandstone layers all bent upwards. the transition is beautiful no matter where you come out of the rockies.
and to think that most people miss that...
"oh, it's all just rock."
i think most people miss most of the beauty available for them to admire.
