One of my favorite moments at the Berlin Fleamarket at Mauer Park this past weekend. Unfortunately I didn’t catch the name of the artist, as she was away from her booth. But her hanging sheep cloud mobile was just too cute to miss.

Adventures in Hitchhiking.

While waiting at a petrol station outside Barcelona during my attempt to hitch back into France, yours truly encounters a French hitchhiker (who lives in Spain) going the same direction. This turns out to be a near 24 hour adventure, that includes us making it over the Spanish-French frontier nearly 9 hours after we started, sleeping outside on the streets while it rained, and finally catching a bus the following morning to his friends’ house in a village outside Montpellier. 

This is the video I took after we arrived in Montpellier late at night, sans a working SIM card or a ride to his friends’s place.

We were never picked up. Because when you try to hitchhike at 1am, people think you are drunk. Or crazy. (My late night sign holding dance must have scared them off…)

Look carefully…What’s going on in this picture!?!?

Well, I’m no David Bowie, so wherever I’m going has a higher potential to be boring. ;)

Anonymous asked: Will you ever write your book "The Orgasmic Universe" ?

{Tumblr messages arise like dew, and sometimes it’s only when I walk out in barefeet do I notice it.}

So I posed the question to myself.

And this was my experience:

“Does the book want to be written?”

I don’t know that I have an answer. Or much content for it to be called a book. Maybe a booklet.

If you were to read such a book, what might you like to read about?

Solo journeying as a human sponge, immersed and alone many times, writing, as well as my own self, has become my best friend and solace. Who shall I tell? The only one there is to tell…Me.
