there is no manual to prepare yourself to do something (again) after a traumatizing life event. time helps soothe things but in grieving time is not so linear.
this morning in the morning radio news (740AM) i heard that the city of san francisco has no way of tracking how many roaming service cars ride at any given point, which is not to account for the 7×7 miles within the city of must-have now that are meal-deliveries, amazon deliveries and every delivery you can think of, it is on the road. [links here: SF exploring ‘legal action’ against state for hidden Lyft, Uber traffic data | How are Uber and Lyft affecting Bay Area traffic?]

i stopped bicycle riding the streets of the city approximately 6+ years ago. and asides many constant changes, the flow of traffic is very different from the early 2010s, and also the 2000s . Bumper to bumper at any-given minute. i am no traffic/stat/reporter/analytics expert but i know the significance of crowded-ness when i see it aka almost-getting hit by a “drone” distracted car as a pedestrian almost-all the time.

how, then, does it come to my mind that i should –if ever– chose mi preferred method of transportation as the bicycle again? will i ever be mentally ready, not to mention physically ready?

as with many other life decisions, there may not be a way to go back in life, routine, to where things once were. and that is alrite.
i think about mi brother every day. if the strength ever comes by me again, i guess it falls under the you’ll just know feeling. i guess. i hope.
i just don’t know :/

hi all, just wanted to do a linkie linx to the ovarian psychos piece recently posted in the atlantic. there had been a few fundraiser screens and talks, at least in the bay area, and i’m sure actively in southern california for their documentary, so it is very cool seeing them in larger platforms for everyone to learn about it.
upcoming chance to catch it on PBS soon:

the full film will air on march 27, 2017, on pbs’s Independent Lens.

have a nice weekend — m.

this morning on mi way to work
i unintentionally forgot mi phone at home
love when that happens,
i do.
must be the effect of waking up stiff as a board
with patas..

paper, imagine, write, talk, meditate.
paper. computer. pixels pixels pixels.
send.
a few phone numbers i know by memory
others, written down.

days ago i crossed the international border in a vehicle twice
once alone
for the first time since 45th
the vibe is heavy.
the air, and fear,
i just can barely carry.

i missed mi cat velcro deeply
only for a few days, i know
had the chance to meet an adorable tijuana coffee shop cat
her name is linda,
what a friendly kitty.

i had a breakfast with a close and loved relative
the tensions and worries from neighboring countries
holding hands in sunlight, brightness,
and quite tighter in the dark.

spent time with mi favorite high schooler
youth is so difficult, yet so beautiful. mostly.
introduction to poetry, high school literature
what a time to be open
to discover, devour the world.

resist, read, recharge, rest, organize, repeat.
