Lister's: I have owned my Westy for 29 years.I would like to think that you
would have to "pry it for my cold dead hands" but maybe if infirmary takes me or
it, I hope might have the grace  to  let it all go by. The Buddha said we suffer
because of attachment. I am just a man and I am attached. I know that noting
lasts for ever, my life, this world, the ones I love, (in this form) noting.
That being said, what is wrong with working toward the perfection of our
illusion. All art is just  an attempt to bring about a vision of our perfection
and make it whole and understandable to our self  an others. Meaning can be
discovered in those moments. We can test our self, we can test our vans until it
is time to just stop and say goodbye.
We just came home from a trip up on Hwy 1 to Ft. Bragg and back down Hwy 101 to
20 past Clear Lake and down I-5 to home. the Van ran fine, camped at Manchester
Beach. Lite rain and big winds we warm and dry in our Westy as we watched
Northern Exposure on our dvd player, ate grill tri-tip- chicken breasts, and
salmon. So thanks for all the sharing all these years. May all our madness not
be truly mad.
