At age 13, that is when I first remember it.
It is Jessica who told me - she found out at work today. She just works at the office where people know things. And the lady called, the 94 year old one, and told her. Every year this lady goes to France, perhaps the French hide from her, and how does she get there? She sets out in her canoe and the coast guard picks her up and she gets there.
I need a canoe.
The dream consists of a faraway place, in either England or France, and I am in an apartment by myself with almost no money and it is spring and I am walking the streets to buy bread and sit at cafe tables. The streets are falling apart, there is loose gravel and weeds coming up in the cracks. I notice the smell in the air, and the faces around me. I will always writing, and looking at things - the shiny metals or the art in the museum or the splash of the Seine against the bank, really, and then writing. I realize the naivete... it isn't always spring, sometimes it is painful to be faraway, and it could be that I actually have no money. However, I only realized that part of the dream when Anca Sprenger threatened to help me make the dream a reality. I froze up and freaked out.
Now I just don't know.... But I could get started. I saw canoes in Costco yesterday....

What is it that makes you feel alive?
To write the impossible
To write that which moves the soul beyond the description of words.
The Need to Be
- With Adam
- At the beach with family
- Skating with Afton
- In the sun with a breeze

Canoes are hard to steer. You need a plane ticket. Wish I could help you out with that one. We're saving up for Spain next year. It won't be quite spring, but there will be bread. And poverty.
actually kayaks are much more dynamic in the water. umm maybe we could just swim? it's not very long...just across the atlantic sea. no biggie. you don't even know.
I do know. I know everything. Remember? We decided only one person could know everything and that I could be that person. You said we couldn't share. So I know okay? Well, now that you know that I know, do you think if we swim the Atlantic Ocean they'll make a movie about us? And if they did, do you think it would cover living expenses when we get there? Why am I even asking you... I just realized I know all. But, tell me what you think.
definitely. i'm guessing we'd get a stipend of at least 1.47 million for the documentary, plus benefits from the barbie dolls they will make of us. enough to live in paris of course. i forgot...you do know everything.
