pilgrimage

ever year, in late October, i make a pilgrimage to Bolinas and let the waves of sadness that seem to permeate the community roll over me. it kills me thinking of Richard dying alone in that town...

    What's Bolinas like these days, anyway?

    I know it used to be a seriously "leave us alone" kind of place but I drove through about 10 years ago and it looked kind of, well, touristy.

      i generally have blinders on to the "realities" of the way things are so i'm not sure what the town is REALLY like. It seems lonely and stand-offish and bleak and that's the way i want it to be. i love the salt marshes with the relics of broken machinery rising from the depths and just rusting away...

      and the whole town is permeated by the creaking sound of eucalyptus trees...

        and it has a great lit community. Is Magada Kreg still around?

          People talk to you there and it seems beautiful to me. My daydream would be to build a house there...

            Did not buy a house, but rented one at 315 Elm Road. Moved in last week, went to spaghetti bingo last night. I love it. Kreg, if that is the mud woman...yes.
