inkdick: december 28 2008 fire spirit
My mom threw a going away party thing for Juozas before he goes off to Iraq. I don’t like large gatherings of people when I don’t know any of them, so I hid out in the backyard for most of the night by the fire. Alone with my thoughts and the fire. A lot of things became clear to me. I felt almost spiritual. I think the trip to the National Museum of the American Indian yesterday affected me.
It was amazing.

I gathered the wood and arranged it for a “ready-to-light” …
.
Glad u found peace in the flames: it is a magical thing, no?…
.
it is the place where I burned some of my past: uniforms…
.
and a place where I shall burn more of it…
.
divesting myself of the extraneous..
.
