…The best road trips always have Wyoming or Montana in them—Big Sky Country—or Mexico’s high desert where the seven-thousand foot elevation is high enough to believe that every falling star might touch me on its descent to the sea. And though I have learned to cast toward the stars, I knew there were never mine to capture. Not like the Greeks: who built myths for each constellation, sent gods into the heavens to forever rest. Imprisoned and yet free. So no, there is no touching this: this astrocytoma—this star-tumor that grows and threatens my humanness, that moves in the gray matter like a serpent threatening to take away my life—that I too might turn to dust, to gas, and rise, held by my own gravity, to the heavens, where I will become my own star alive with myth.

THE OTHER MOTHERLAND
THE BIRTHPLACE ZONE
ITS MOUNTAIN TIME.
[come camping with me this weekend!]
I wanted an adventure, and I found one. I fell in love. Happiness indeed. Forget everything else. This was joy. Unfortunately, joy happened to be a very charming, extremely witty, my-idea-of-perfectly-handsome bartender. One who drank too much, shorted too much cocaine, and slept with everything that moved. Good choice. But you’ll perhaps excuse me if I say we had a wonderful time. Anyone who’s ever been in love for the first time with a good-looking, clever, romantically dissolute, and slightly dangerous person will know what I mean. It was not wise. It was not sensible. It was divine
