it’s hard to tell whether my swimming is progressing or digressing. i can swim further and longer, but also crookeder. for some reason when i swim from north to south, i feel as if i am perfectly aligned, but when i return from south to north, i  nearly veer into the next lane.  what does that say about me? perhaps this a question for the astro-cartographer.

I wonder what he would say. Maybe he would tell me this is all part of my spiritual journey. Maybe he would tell me to restrain myself from going so far south since i am having such a difficult time returning from it. it’s pretty much what happened during the year i lived in new orleans.  it is the north where i belong. i will just keep swimming further and further north until i am told to stop.

so if you happen to live in the south and you wonder where i went, now you know.
