believe it or not but I use to sleep when I was homeless. The LA river is home to many homeless individuals who do their best to stay out the way. Like Jenny and Joy, Two Black women in their late 70's.
One night I stumbled upon this bridge. it was getting late and It felt safe. After the sunset I sat down against the railing. Soon after I began vomiting. I'd just finished chemotherapy that morning. I was sick all day, but the very thing I wanted was the cops bothering me.
"Are you high or sick young man" I told here I had cancer and just wanted to be out the way. "I'm sorry if I bothered you. I'll move on"
"You'll do not such thing. You gonna put these boots on and come with me, so you are safe tonight." She wasn't taking no for an answer.
We walked down to the river the made our way through to the makeshift area they called home. It solar light, propane stove lights and heaters.
I stayed with them every night for over a month. they made sure I ate and once went with me to my chemo appointment. They were twin sisters who once worked for the Army Corps of Engineers.
I developed an infection and had to be in the hospital for about two months. when I returned they were gone. Not a trace of them left. I asked other homeless people and they told me "After the got you to the hospital Joy took sick and died. Jenny took care of her to the end. Then Jenny took sick and died bout two weeks ago."
They told me how disrespectfully the city came in and trashed their belongings. I sat on the waters edge and just cried. sat there for two days.
About a month later I met my close friend Carlos who lived in the area. He invited me over for dinner and then we all went for a walk across this bridge.

Desert scene in Saguaro National Park during late winter/early spring. Spring flowers were beginning to sprout and the desert was experiencing its annual green aura on its floor. I captured this shot an hour after sunrise.

I took that image simply because back home when I was young, we used to have fake flowers as decorations and my mum still buys them. I always feel at home when I see them, even when living away from home as a student. Perhaps it's because they remind me of my mother.
Chi si sa profondo si sforza d'essere chiaro; chi vorrebbe sembrar profondo alla moltitudine , si sforza d'essere oscuro. La moltitudine infatti prende per profondo tutto quello di cui non può vedere il fondo.

View Large for best viewing -- these were small branches of small trees, and I was fascinated with the teeny tiny droplets of water formed all along the teeny tiny spider webs, like strands of pearls. The larger single drop contains an upside down reversed picture of the background, the foggy woods and sun shining through.
They say we're safer at home, but are we. What if this shelter in place means you're not stuck full time with your abuser? What happens if you depend on things like support groups to handle your recovery? What if you live alone. What if you live alone and you're sick. How bout depression? What if you have depression? What if all this isolation has caused you to develop depression.
We are humans and we need human contact to survive normally, if that's a such thing. When this is removed from long periods of time, what are the circumstances and why isn't anyone coming up with ways to effectively help folks cope with it. I don't mean simply prescribing medication which only numbs a person, not actually help a person. We will not be able to meditate our way out of this.
