BEg2 chapter 7 ramblings

[Joseph Tracy]

Hope you recover well. Very enjoyable ramblings and reactions. Myst was beautiful and eerie, like Deep Archer. Loved the words playing in all their  aspirational reactions and sexy switcheroos. I was upstairs in spudio stasis working on my own plane collusion with some photons from the geographic her story of the planetary pasta. Thinking bye and buoy about Merle Rideout in the free zone of anarchy-without-the-ism, talking with the lightning and his red-haired daughter. Anarchy  a head and beauty before on nonhierarchical splendor. Shadows stretching backwards toward the stars. So much light to shape a single second of a signaling soul song on a single day, finding the alchemical gold in the sunlit grasses. Just ridin along.
