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 have added a sepia tone to this image alongside taking it at an angle to help me to achieve isolation
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.

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.
Went to the park for my walk and this girl came to fly a kite with her mom. She was in cosplay. Talked with them and both agreed to let me do a shoot. Kept safe distance of course. 70-200mm lens won't even focus under five feet.
I spotted this scene towards the end of the day while in Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona. Sometimes, it's nice to capture some great Autumn colours when they're more isolated which makes them really stand out.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the "sleeping" level.
today has been a day of action or work if you will, The bible says prayer without work is dead. I've been constant prayer and meditation since I lost my dear friend Janice and late today I got my answers and three confirmations, so I got down to work.

Being alone is when my mind just goes wild. If I'm in any pain from my Sickle Cell things can get bad quickly.
More and more I'm forgetting things like where I am, who I am and who my friends are. My pain crisis last longer and are more frequent.. I've never had anxiety before but it gets so bad I can't control my breathing. I get dizzy and often times I fall.
The stress of being sick and alone is truly getting to me.
The European Parliament in co-operation with Irish Rural Link hosted a seminar on rural isolation in Ennis, Co Clare on Friday, 28th February. Phil Prendergast MEP was in attendance and a special guest speaker was MÃcheál Ó Muircheartaigh, the former RTE sports commentator. The meeting was held from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm in the West County Hotel, Ennis. The seminar heard from experts in the field but the main purpose of the meeting was to seek proposals as to how the problem of rural isolation can be alleviated and develop polices to target the problem.
