friday i took the day off and flew from LA to panama city, FL to see some friends and family. within an hour of landing i was cruising around the bay on a restored paddleboat in a 1920s murder mystery party. i played the part of a mob boss who was having an affair with the sister of a competing mob boss. met a guy who was a professional jack sparrow at disney world.
saturday i checked out an old native american temple mound early settlers had found. i've been interested in early weapons and this gave me a chance to study an atlatl up close. i found myself particularly interested in the symbology ancient potters used in the patterns they applied to their work. i also learned that when burying these bowls with the dead they would drill a hole in the bottom so the potter's soul wouldn't be trapped underground with the deceased.
that night i stopped by my best friend's place (haven't seen him in years). i met his new girl and we all ate some acid i had brought with me. we smoked pot and played beatles rock band while coming up (which was amazing), then around 2am decided to go for a drive down the strip (also amazing). we ended up at the beach, where we marveled at how black the water appeared at night, and how it was impossible to discern where it ended and the night sky began. overhead the stars beamed rays of light down at us. we decided that if there were ever a place on earth to contemplate the infinite this would be it. i lay back on the sand with outstretched limbs and felt the earth spinning around me... as i meditated i became aware that we are simply energy inhabiting our physical bodies, and i could feel my consciousness move from body part to body part. i focused on the roar of the ocean and the pull of the tides on my millions of wet cells, could feel the sea tugging at my being with each push and pull of the waves. it pulled at my sex and it felt like gaia was giving me a big wet blowjob. i melted into the ocean and became one with her energy. i had a true elemental water experience that night, and decided that i would have peak acid experiences for fire (at burning man), earth (in a subterranean cave), and air (on a mountain) next. we realized we didn't bring any pot with us so we headed back and smoked a bowl. by this time we were starving so we went to a nearby store and bought a loaf of french bread, some smoked cheese, some fruit and a bottle of peligrino. "why do you want sparkling water?" his girl asked. "because everything should titillate us" i replied, and i meant it. we are sense organs for experience. we took our fare to a bay where we frequented some 15 years ago as kids, smoked cigarettes and watched the sun come up over the water as we ate. around 6am we left. he dropped me off at my mother's house and we all hugged goodbye. i told him we'd hang out the next day but we both knew it wouldn't happen– we were all exhausted and we knew it would be impossible to top such a perfect night. i stayed up reading before finally catching my sleep around 10am.
the next day was spent licking my wounds, recovering from the night before. i slept in till 3 and streamed netflix with my mom until she went to bed. the next day i was on my flight back to LA.
- i saved some water from that night in my flask for ritual use, i plan on gathering some elemental object each timescarabin
