yesss.
what a lovely city and what lovely people.
I met a group of people on the street yesterday while I was searching for jobs! They were all really interesting and had a great pile of things between them — mostly fabric (clothes, presumably). They were all stitching up pants and…
the mountains
A woman named Bridget told me there had been an avalanche.
“The road’s going to be closed for four hours. Where are you going?”
She had red hair and a temporary tattoo of a skull with a heart in the background.
“I’m going that way. I’ll drive you.”
Bridget and I talked about mushroom trips and the ocean and the death of the people we loved and the universe. We ate chicken with our fingers and dipped our toes in the lake.
She lived up the road from Liloeet. It was a beautiful little house that she had built with her husband. In the morning she made tea and eggs with home made salsa. Toast and home made jam from the fruit trees on her farm land.
I gave her my necklace and I walked away. I hope one day I’ll see her again..
A man from Tokyo picked me up next. He dropped me about a mile from Mike’s farm. Mike is an older guy. He showed me the puppies and they’re beautiful. He told me to come inside. He showed me a bed in one of the houses and he said it was mine. I’ve spent the last four hours wandering the land and taking in the mountains. Everything smellls like glacier water and flowers. It’s beautiful here.
“Oh Canada, you taste so bitter and so sweet. I could drink a case of you and still be on my feet”
lost it all
I lost my phone and my last sixty dollars.
But the puppies are ready and I’m going to go see them soon :)
