24 days but not counting

So the trip is nearing and now I have my tiny e-space flying carpet, glass bottle, stardustey speck in the internet launched and planted and waiting to collect my adventures and send them off along with my thoughts and memories and pictures and anything else that goes in and can come out, filtered perhaps, or maybe not, from my hopefully sun-soaked restless or relaxed mind under the Philippine skies. Runonsentences will abound and rambling thoughts and stream of conscious observations. As the days near, maybe i'll have some preparatory ideas to air. Maybe. Maybe not. Probably so. Practice not editing what's once written, see how it goes, spinning spinning mind, who knows what will actually spurt out. Until then, in between work and coffee and reading and writing and yoga and boxing and more yoga and saving money and spending money and music and bike riding and all the rest and more bike riding and more coffee, perhaps an occasional thought towards the trip...
