TOTAL ECLIPSE: WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?

Last minute
Balls in the wind
Waiting gets you nowhere
Oregon bound from sunset beach
Deep southern california
900 miles
For
Eclipse In Totality
Lost weeds
There goes the last palm tree
Got holes in my pockets
Spare me some change
Heading north
Towards a chakra
Fresh mint grows better at a gas station
Road sodas
Eager as all hell
Arrived
KOA first option, worked well
No hassles
Bikes ride well in this town
Over your shoulder
Mt Shasta, WOW
What a spectacle
Blackberries, everywhere
Like a grande size
Cafe
Yaks volcanic
Pulls in NRG
Not like a crystal shop
Mother Earth is screaming
Good peeps from Los Angeles
Yogi and a doll
Headwaters
Spring full of locals
A new kind of whistleblower
Blowing zen
Gary, go meet Gary
Baptized a second time
Water feels good on face
Like ice on feet
Border bound
Can’t take my eyes off Shasta
Wait, shhhyeaaahhhstaaah?

Eugene we want you
Forest fires feel like a parking lot on a freeway
Brothers home
Found Highway Chile
Sleeping at his bike
Beers on a hillside
BBQ catch up
The good times are rollin
Like cognac from Italy
Hook in head
I hate Wal-Mart
Sushi burritos & Nakita beer
Much better
Downtown in town
Dude needs new sandals
Make a wristband
Kava cafe
Smoke is cheap
Gimme
Blackberry pie
Too late
Hit the road jack
It’s midnight
And we have
4.5 hours ahead
Damn it’s late
But that’s good
People get cranky when its late
More forgiving
And easy going
This was the plan

Last stop, prineville.
Get the goods before it gets you.
Well hell, cell service
Gone like a fart in the wind
There but not there
Gone
Long dirt roads
Can’t wait to set eyes on..
This beast
This festiival
This gathering
Sneakers on
Washboard road
Like cattle, our group of 3 were headed straight
But, gently to the cutting board
Show me codes – No.codes
We’re smart chaps, creative, outgoing friendly lads
Beat but not beaten
Where do we grab our badges?
“Box office”
Like a butterfly
Tall scruffy handsome fella’ needs credentials
With his…
Short steaming coffee and a rolled cigarette
Looking for babies
Aint the right hour
It’s 4:30 am
We need service, good service
No time for babies
“How the hell we get outta here? Manager, fucked up!”
“If you go left you can head back to Prineville and if you go right, that heads into the festival”
“Ok, got it! Out is to the left and festival is to the right, right?
Like a black stallion.
We rode in straight through the front door, again
Into the trees and sea of a thousand mirrors
Creative theme camping, why not
I like shade, shade is good especially in these neck of the woods
5 am
West facing prairie piss breaks
Into a ghost town
Deserted party hats
Drugs were here, are here
FireChat is shit
Signs show
At least 40,000
Sleeping, dreaming, healing…
Little critters
While others…
Caught courtside
Psychedelic mysteries
Lights are gleaming
Chillville ranching mode
Hammock canoe lake sensations
Hallucinations
Pack of rollie’s!
Too many doors…
In through the sun and out like a chariot
Indian prayer
Has got me, on my edge
Wheres my bed?

Early morning afternoon
Meet n greet
From Australia to Maui’s end
Provibers everywhere
Sun is hot, it burns
Maps are good
12 noon meandering gardens
Hot air balloons
High as all hell
Reservoir floats
Met with Lucy at 3 pm
Along with 3 beers
And 3 new creatures
Vision questing
Making new music, in a tent
Into the madhouse we went
Tripped up
1:11 gift cards
TeePee tribalness
Speechless
The New Pulsation?
Mastation?
This is one hungry nation
Like a giant orgy
Consciousness is at the forefront
Taking a dive
Dusty tent trails
Empty stomach, but I don’t care
Dinosaurs and panda bear acroyoga
Like children playing together
Don’t take so many pictures
Don’t get in the way
Walk into darkness
Creatures about
Pay the stream toll
Welcome to the Temple
Wooden structure crowns
Fire spinning, eats the heart out
Baby Abraxas is full
Laddermen to the rescue
Like a Walt Disney movie
We rush with ladders
To the clouds, but there were no clouds
Stumbled on the nectar of bass
Ripped in half, again
It was a J collision
What are the odds?
Heads are spinning
Food does me nothing
Naked people are beautiful at this hour
And the lights are just as distracting
What’s the purpose? Of all this
Oh yes, it was the Eclipse
That symbiotic dance between the Sun and the Moon
Remember: be here now
In the present nothing else will matter
Transformational pull
Deep exhale
Manifest.

Smell of sage
But these are not hippies, just better humans
Brush off sleep, who needs sleep
Yoga in a dome of triangles
Handstands with friends
Bacon greets my tongue
Some prefer
Mushroom watermelon smoothie
Tented convos
About the cosmos
Mixed with good gin and more beer
Shaking hands with imaginary people
Stu where are you?
Thank you for all the shoes
Sun can’t burn a dusty soul
Made way towards a greenhouse
Picked some fresh kale, squash, cabbage and jalapeno
Do these plants stand a chance?
Sanctuary after sanctuary
Need a break, a dip of cool cool water
Spinning yarn doesn’t look so damn hard
Sun begins to hit that horizon once again
Met burner crew, Abraxas art car build project
Friendly doesn’t do justice
This princess was naughty on a hot hot verano school bus roof top
Thank you, thank you – DJ Naughty Princess
You melted us.
Kids can juggle, diggin it cuz there ain’t no television here
Hose me down, I need a shower
Pace yourself
There’s husband, wife and child that’s dirtier than you, jesus christ.
Warm beer and blue dreams
Off into the night
This trip goes over and over and over again
We won’t stop, can’t stop

Shut eye for a few
Wake up to a lovely sunrise set by an intimate trio, RY X
Friends and lovers
The biggest decision yet
Where do we watch this spectacle?
This eclipse, This totality
After all that’s why we’re here
From a prairie or sea of humans gathered near a Temple
We choose prairie
Don’t need more than you can chew
Eyes like knives
People stare with safe guarded plastic
Darkness creeps in
Cattle lay low and those thieving birds stop their chirping
An umbra fills the sky on a cold brisk starry morning
We gaze, we stare,
Completely drained
We are witness
The sun and moon dance
Like a 2 minute song, it was…
Shimmering, dreamlike, planetary
This is totality.
As 70,000 people are caught in a trance
Here comes the sun
Will be howling.

Comfort is good
My lips are burnt and cracking.
My lips never chap, what caused this!?
who caused this?
It was you.
