Where's I Been?

Just in case there are regular readers who wonder where th' petunias I've been, I ran into some weird glitches in the archived postings - links linking to nowhere - and got discouraged after correcting a half-dozen. Also, ahem, I've swept a lot of my website short pieces into a book titled 'A PLANETARY SOJOURN' that I'm publishing soon - more about that when it happens, although I'm quite pleased with the cover - and the feedback I've received from a few readers of the uncorrected proofs.
I was going to include some of the postings from this blog, but the book already was almost 350 pages long, which is long enough. So now I'll start a SECOND collection that I'm titling "NON-DUAL IN THE SUN." More about that ditto.
In the meanbetimes, I'll honk my horn a little more by a link to David Gan's Grateful Dead radio show where he interviews documentary filmmaker Eric Christensen about his "The Trips Festival." The film covers the historic January 1966 weekend blow-out that took the Merry Pranksters Acid Test format into a three-night expansion -- and also unintentionally ushered in the Hippie Era. I was privileged to participate.
Wishing all illusory pristine awareness embodiments a festive absorption into the light!
And don't forget to celebrate Perihelion, this year on January 3 - high noon for us Pacific Standard Timers. We're 5 million km closer to the sun if measured from the opposite end of Mother Gaia's twirl.
