Hello and Welcome hope you are well.
If there’s one thing that needs to be said right now it is that everyone has a little mental illness in them, I believe. Like Eckhart Tolle’ says – “of course you’re insane. You live on Planet Earth.” and that’s paraphrasing of course. Too much of everything – a thousand things to stimulate us every minute. I can be walking on a beautiful day in the country and thinking “no madness here – I’ve escaped it” and then a truck of crazy rednecks pulls up and my God, they are so PISSED OFF! They don’t notice the pretty stream and could give a shit about the way the sun is setting on the trees cause’ deer-hunting season ends tomorrow and only six hours left to kill one. And they almost ran me over to kill those deer and I bet the driver hasn’t been diagnosed as insane although he’s drunk behind the wheel of a 5,320 lb. truck. But his actions ARE insane. They even screamed some obscenity at me because my shirt looks like what a “hippie” would wear, I guess.
“Get off the road, ya’ faggot.”
But really guys. I’m not gay. I just write poetry and movies that don’t deal with explosions and kicking ass.
In another world we may have been friends, me and those guys in the truck. And I may have been friends with so many different people if this crazy culture hadn’t separated us so much. All these things that divide us make me more “mentally ill” because I don’t understand it – it hurts me when the coldness is so obvious. I don’t know why I don’t know my neighbors name and I live in these beautiful mountains and feel so cut off and that makes me crazier.
So, more later cause’ I’m going out it is a beautiful day in Asheville and the sun is FINALLY OUT!
