Karna vs the (Modern) World Pt 2

pt 1 here

Karna just wants one day. One good day.

(btw all of these stories are also on ao3!)

-

Karna focused back on the world, coming out of his midnight meditation with a sigh. It had been a few days since the drive back to Kasi, a sight that Karna didn’t think he’d ever forget. He hadn’t been able to stop the horror of seeing Mother Ganga all dried up from bleeding out into their shared consciousness, and heard Bujji grow even more worried as Bhairava of all people shed an involuntary tear. 

As they drove further into the city, the more angry and afraid Karna got. What had happened to Kasi? He saw a bustling marketplace, but recognized none of the wares. He saw people, but didn’t recognize the fashion. There were signs, but he didn’t recognize the languages other than a food sign in Tamil. And speaking of food, he didn’t see a single appetizing thing on the pictures outside the businesses. Crime, slavery, thievery, all of the sins were clearly visible just from the few minutes they spent driving through Kasi. Karna had retreated into Bhairava, unwilling to see more. 

In the days that followed, he resurfaced to explore the world quickly before disappearing again. He would taste the first bite of the shrimp noodles Bhairava ordered, take a few breaths of the polluted air, and get his fortune read by some hack and his fake bird. Although, to be fair, the man could be pulling out the sun card every time because of Karna and not just to impress Bhairava, so maybe not a hack. 

Not all of his experiences were unpleasant, however. Somehow he figured out how to use one of the numerous digital interfaces (he gave up and asked Bujji) to locate a book in Sanskrit on the Mahabharata War, as they called it now, to read over the events that happened. The text was mostly accurate, to which Karna was grateful. The text also described his death in detail, which he tried to forget about. He then went outside to hold short discussions with passersby. Karna was used to being ignored anyway, but delighted in the fact that for all of the people who didn’t know who he was, the same number of people didn’t know who Arjuna was, either. We’re both irrelevant losers now, he thought, then sobered as he realized these people didn’t know Krishna either.

He also figured out how to use Bhairava’s mental knowledge, being inside of him. Procedural memory was a beautiful thing. Karna couldn’t go too deep, without Bhairava feeling the intrusion, but he was now able to do basic things such as comprehend the different languages they spoke around here, type on the glowing blue screens, use Bhairava’s flying boots, and wield chopsticks. 

He could also choose to view Bhairava’s dreams, lingering on the edge of his reality. Karna often saw a man alternating between treating Bhairava lovingly and cursing him out for a betrayal, stuck in what looked like a jail cell. He saw a scantily clad woman that Bhairava liked to fantasize beating him up in various ways. Karna would retreat from the dreamscape to give him some privacy, but also in guilt, as the woman’s clothes (or lack of them) reminded him of another woman he had seen disrobed. 

Aside from a few memories of the Complex (which even Karna had been stunned at seeing, knowing how the people outside were living) and a few scenes made up in Bhairava’s imagination, the last figure was a faceless woman that sounded like Bujji. They bickered in Bhairava’s dreams just as much as they did in real life, but there was an undercurrent of something else as well. He tried to not think about it. 

(Karna refused to accept that Bhairava had a thing for Bujji. No. It was an artificial being, for God’s sake.)

And speaking of Bujji, Karna warily glanced around the room as he stretched his limbs. From what little he had researched, aware that the thing was probably looking at his search history, Bujji seemed to be capable of anything. She didn’t have a physical form, but that made it worse as she could be anywhere. 

Karna had learned that the hard way the other day when he had flopped onto his mat outside of the residence, wanting some fresh (or as much as he could get here, anyway) air. He had just wanted to be away from Rajan and Bujji for one night so he could gather his wits, just one night. 

At that time on the roof there weren’t many people around. Karna let out a breath of relief, then broke down, going through his entire repertoire of Sanskrit swears. It was extremely poor conduct for a member of Duryodhana’s court, but there was the problem. Duryodhana wasn’t here, and Karna had no idea how to get back to him. Aswhatthama was here, but Karna had no idea how to get to him either. He was all alone in an entirely new time. Maybe he could try escaping Bujji? Going on the run? 

“Bhairava?” the voice had come from the generator a few feet to the side of him, planted into the roof. Karna yelped in surprise. What the…? “I didn’t know you knew… all those words.”

“How are you even here?” Karna had scrambled to try to piece himself together again.

Bujji paused. “I’m… everywhere, Bhairava. I’m an AI. You know this.” Karna got the impression she was frowning. “Do you want me to.. leave?” 

Karna winced. The being sounded hurt. He didn’t want that, actually. “No, Bujji. I am just.. out of sorts right now.”

When no other words came from him, Bujji accepted that. “Ok. I’m watching over you, don’t worry. You won’t get snatched by any of your debtors up here.”

Debtors?? Snatching him up? The night was for resting, these people had no honor if they would attack him at this time. When did the rules of dueling go out of fashion? Maybe the rooftop nap was a bad idea. But Bujji did say she was going to protect him. Watching over you, his mind reminded him, which he tried to ignore. Karna had sighed and dropped into sleep, feeling stupid and lonely and homesick.

But that had proven Bujji could be anywhere. Karna hadn’t figured out her limitations yet, but it wasn’t like he could just look it up on the servers that she was also on. For all he knew, she could be watching him right now, judging his midnight meditation. Reading his heartbeat, because yes, that was a thing she was capable of apparently. Then he looked over at Bujji’s car body in the center of the room. Or rather, the lack of a body. 

He frowned. 

Bujji had said she was going to take the car for a ride a few hours ago, whatever that meant. She still wasn’t back. He got up and wandered over to the table, littered with spare parts and Bhairava’s scribbled notes. Was there a way he could figure out where she was, the same way she could somehow track him? The tools he had near him didn’t make much sense to him. 

But maybe Bhairava knew the answers. Karna sighed and gave Bhairava back control. 

***

Bhairava blinked. And then cursed. This had been happening too many times lately, waking up in a different place than what he slept to. He would think he developed a sleepwalking problem, but he didn’t think he was falling asleep during the day either, for short minutes at a time. Something else was happening, but he had no idea what.  

Bhairava remembered this all started in Shambala, when he woke up with the girl from the labs, and the freshly speared and barbequed corpse of Commander Manas a few feet behind her. Now he woke up in front of his table, feeling well rested and more peaceful than usual. 

His table. 

Which was currently missing the car in front of it. 

“Hey, Bujji?” he tried. “Where’s your body?” There was no response. “Are you mad at me? Giving me the silent treatment again?” Bujji still didn’t answer, and Bhairava tensed. Bujji was never this quiet. If she was upset at him she would let him know, be passive aggressive about it until he figured out what he did wrong. She’d never been offline at any point, connected into all of his systems. If she had a software update she’d leave a note, and Bhairava briefly searched the table for anything he had missed, maybe when he was sleepwalking, but nothing popped up. 

Had she.. left him again? Like the time she tried to escape? 

“Bujji if you wanted to leave you could’ve just told me,” Bhairava said again, shoulders drooping at the silence. It was true that he stopped Bujji from leaving years ago, but that was before everything they did together. He had hoped they were comfortable enough with each other in their partnership now, comfortable enough that Bujji would trust him not to go after her if she left. 

And he would, Bhairava thought to himself. If that’s what Bujji really wanted, even if it would tear him up inside, the loss of his one and only true friend- no one loves you everyone leaves you never change this is what’s needed for this world- he loved her enough to let her go. 

Unless… he was feeling sad for no reason and she had been taken instead? Against her will?

Bhairava buried his face in his hands. He didn’t want to freak Bujji out, and make it seem like he just wanted his car back. If she truly wanted to leave on her own, Bhairava wouldn’t go after her. But what if she was hurt? What if someone had taken her?

Bhairava tried to push back the images of Bujji’s body chained up in a garage, some guy splicing through her code and doing who knows what to her mind. 

“Arghh!” That’s it, he made up his mind. Bhairava was not a man who thought things through, and Bujji would probably yell at him for it in a few hours, but at least they would be together again. 

He would find Bujji. He would make sure she was safe and okay. And if this was what she wanted, he’d leave. If not, he’d beat the shit out of whoever dared to lay a hand on Bujji. 

Bhairava walked over to the screen and flipped on the secret tracker that he put onto Bujji’s body years ago. It had been a painstaking process to keep it a secret from Bujji herself, but it had been necessary when they were still learning to trust each other. As the years had gone by Bhairava resolved to ignore it, vowing to never use it, but these were exceptional circumstances. 

Sorry Bujji, he thought to himself. But I’m coming for you, whether you want me to or not.

Mahadev T-Shirt: Wear Powerful Lord Shiva Spiritual Strength on T-Shirts

Fashion in t-shirts has progressed way beyond casual apparel. The self-expression it is for everyone representing their belief, passion, or ideology. This most powerful spiritual figure of the Hindus is all about strength, wisdom, and transformation – the very face of Mahadev. A Mahadev T-shirt sporting the graphics of Lord Shiva is more than just an expression of devotion but also a constant reminder of the flow of divine energy that emanates from his powerful presence. Lord Shiva

Lord Shiva is considered one of the greatest deities worshipped in Hinduism and is often referred to as the multifaceted God. The one who sits atop the Himalayas, meditates, and then destroys evil- Shiva; the god of transformation. While he is always depicted as an ascetic yogi who seeks to meditate in the mountains, he does not only exist as a destroyer but also creates new worlds. He is therefore the preserver of the universe. His calm presence with force makes him suitable for spiritual development, inner strength, and tranquility. The name "Mahadev" means "The Great God," and is titled to Shiva, who sits atop the Hindu hierarchy. He is oftener depicted with a third eye, crescent moon on his head, and the sacred river Ganga flowing from his hair; he also wears a serpent coiled around his neck, all of which is very symbolic. Whether it is his meditative pose, the trident he carries, or his cosmic dance (Nataraja), the image of Lord Shiva inspires millions to connect with their inner selves and seek wisdom.

Why Mahadev T-Shirt? A Mahadev T-shirt means much more than a shirt. It's a declaration of your being for Lord Shiva and all his teachings that reflect the epitome of humanity and values within his personality. The image on the t-shirt, which would depict Lord Shiva T-shirt, helps you to concentrate and be patient in the trying times of life. It makes you introspect to ponder over life's deeper things such as transformations and spirituality. Many people are drawn to the qualities of wisdom and strength attributed to Lord Shiva, and they wear a Mahadev T-shirt as a way to pay homage to his presence in their lives. Whether you are practicing meditation, yoga, or simply following the spiritual path, a Lord Shiva t-shirt can be a constant source of motivation. These shirts become more than a mere accessory to carry with oneself; they represent carrying the Mahadev blessings in one's hand.

Spiritual Power of the Lord Shiva T-Shirts A t-shirt bearing an image of Lord Shiva has spiritual power, as he embodies transformation and change. Life, like the creation and destruction cycle, is full of growth, overcoming, and moving ahead from obstacles. The image of Shiva can remind the wearer of their own ability to grow, adapt, and rise above challenges. Whether you're going through a difficult phase in life or striving for personal growth, wearing a Mahadev T-shirt can serve as a constant reminder that transformation is always possible. Shiva's teachings encourage people to break free from the limitations of the material world and focus on inner peace and enlightenment. His teachings are timeless, and through his symbol on a t-shirt, one can stay grounded in their spiritual journey. For those seeking a deeper connection with their higher self or a way to integrate spirituality into daily life, a Lord Shiva T-shirt serves as a powerful and meaningful tool.

Stylish and comfortable The best thing about a Mahadev T-shirt is that it blends style with comfort. These t-shirts are not only for people who seek spiritual connection but also for fashion-forward people who want a unique and eye-catching design. The bright colors, intricate designs, and powerful imagery of Lord Shiva make these t-shirts stand out, making them suitable for casual outings, religious gatherings, yoga classes, or meditation sessions. The comfort factor gives these tees an upper edge to be used more frequently than everyday. Being manufactured from comfortable fabrics that let one breathe and allowing one to proudly wear the affection at home or at temple, with friends-the Mahadev T-shirts help ensure an adequate fit to just about anything.

A Lord Shiva T-shirt is also a great gift for any person who believes in spirituality or is dedicated to self-growth and transformation. Whether it is for a friend, family member, or loved one, a Mahadev T-shirt can be a thoughtful gift that encourages them to stay focused on their spiritual path and connect with their inner strength. Gifting a Mahadev T-shirt can be a way of sharing the wisdom of Lord Shiva with other people. This is because it symbolizes a wish for peace, strength, and spiritual growth, making it a meaningful and personal gift.

Conclusion A Mahadev T-shirt, featuring the powerful image of Lord Shiva, is much more than just clothing. It is a symbol of strength, wisdom, and transformation, representing the divine energy that can inspire you on your spiritual journey. Whether you are drawn to the meditative nature of Shiva or simply wish to wear a meaningful design that reflects your beliefs, a Lord Shiva t-shirt is an excellent choice. Not only does it give comfort and style, but it also carries the power of Mahadev, reminding you to stay grounded, focused, and strong, no matter where life takes you. It can add to the keen sense of spiritualism for dressing while wearing a Mahadev T-shirt for it exhibits devotion to Lord Shiva. Let the transformation of Shiva guide you on your way to inner peace and growth

1. (most prominent quirk [it was hard picking just one]) his eyes mirror his emotions perfectly. he did not grow up being a very expressive person overall but his eyes speak for him. they soften when he's feeling vulnerable or charmed, and his gaze hardens when he's feeling conflicted. his eyes can tell stories.

as for me, he often mentions my smile. i think he took a special liking to my dimples...

2. the gym / basketball court. it's where we met, it's where we're together most of the time, it holds a special place in our hearts.

3. (⸝⸝๑ _๑⸝⸝⸝) it's still a bit early for that...we're high schoolers...

4. he'd be the vocalist and i'd be a guitarist (frerard who.)...

5. it was so difficult for me to say those words for the first time because of something that happened to me in the past -- and due to how strong the words are. sei says them more often, and it melts my heart everytime.

6. he does! he communicates his care for me on the court, by offering me tips / fixing my posture / engaging in duo plays with me when passing me the ball...he also always makes sure that i'm feeling alright, due to how rocky my mental state is; making sure that i take care of myself, take my medicine on time, all that...

7. i have. saying "interesting" often and caring about grammar when texting are some of the habits i have picked up...

8. i wouldn't have to say anything. he would find me anyway.

9. both! dancing in the kitchen sounds cozy and intimate but honestly i would really like to go to a karaoke bar. sei is an extremely good singer so he wouldn't have a problem with it either.

10. pumpkin bread with nuts and hazelnut milk...

11. in public, we call eachother by our names (i call him "captain" too). in private, we use pet names...

12. well, i know for a fact that sei wants to become a profession athlete but we're still in process of getting there...(his father wants him to inherit the family's business). but our main goal for now is just become public about our relationship...

13. when we were playing against eachother during practice and he pulled an ankle breaker on me and i fell on my ass. that was crazy. but also "wow, i need to marry him."

14. he has disassociative personality disorder and has an alter (the fandom calls him "bokushi". i call him "aka-chan"). i'm with both of them, but sometimes it's difficult to get through aka-chan's hard shell. i know it's all new to him though, and he needs time to reflect on his feelings...

15. he's good at redirecting my focus from the bad thoughts. and no, it's not just because i find him utterly hypnotizing. he reassures me that everything is alright and encourages me to view the situation differently. and of course, suggests that we play a bit of 1v1.

16. the first song that came up was "amor de ganga" which is our main song, strangely. needless to say that it fits us like a glove...

17. let's just say that red is my favorite color.

18. we're somewhere in the middle. we've been close for a long time but my heart still flutters and my cheeks still flush whenever i see him. the sparkle in our eyes isn't dimming at all...

19. a portrait he keeps in his pocket of us when we were younger and everything was alright...

20. probably someone stubborn, whose feet are never really touching the ground, has an "unique fashion sense", hardworking...a little silly, always flustered..."once, we were having a matching during our first year in the basketball team and he scored a three-pointer. but guess what? it was an own goal." he still teases me about it till this day.

The Influence of Bollywood on the Bhojpuri Music Industry

Bollywood, the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai, has long been a dominant force in shaping the music tastes of millions across India and beyond. Its influence extends far beyond its own boundaries, permeating regional music industries, including the Bhojpuri music industry. Bhojpuri music, with its rich folk heritage, has evolved significantly over the years, and Bollywood has played a crucial role in this transformation. This article explores the deep-seated connection between Bollywood and the Bhojpuri music industry, analyzing how Bollywood has influenced Bhojpuri music's style, themes, and popularity, while also highlighting the opportunities and challenges that arise from this relationship.

1. Bollywood’s Far-Reaching Influence: Setting the Stage for Bhojpuri Music Bollywood's influence on regional music industries, including Bhojpuri, is rooted in its far-reaching appeal and the widespread distribution of its films and soundtracks. Bollywood has been a cultural touchstone in India, shaping music, fashion, and even language.

Bollywood’s Cultural Dominance: Since its inception, Bollywood has been the primary source of entertainment for a vast majority of the Indian population. Its songs, often woven into the fabric of its films, have transcended linguistic and regional barriers, becoming an integral part of Indian popular culture. This widespread appeal of Bollywood has inevitably influenced regional music industries, including Bhojpuri.

Bollywood’s Entry into Bhojpuri Cinema: The crossover between Bollywood and Bhojpuri music began when Bollywood producers and directors recognized the potential of the Bhojpuri-speaking audience. The first Bhojpuri film, "Ganga Maiya Tohe Piyari Chadhaibo" (1963), marked the beginning of this interaction. The success of this film, which featured music heavily influenced by Bollywood, set the stage for the symbiotic relationship between Bollywood and Bhojpuri music.

2. Fusion of Styles: How Bollywood Shaped the Sound of Bhojpuri Music One of the most significant ways Bollywood has influenced Bhojpuri music is through the fusion of musical styles. The integration of Bollywood’s musical elements into Bhojpuri songs has led to the creation of a unique sound that resonates with a broad audience.

Adoption of Bollywood Compositions: Bhojpuri music began incorporating Bollywood’s melodic structures, orchestration, and lyrical styles. Bollywood's use of classical, folk, and Western musical elements served as a blueprint for Bhojpuri music producers. As a result, Bhojpuri music started featuring more complex compositions, diverse instrumentation, and polished production values, which helped it appeal to a wider audience.

Influence on Lyrics and Themes: Bollywood's storytelling approach, which often includes themes of love, heartbreak, and social issues, has significantly influenced the lyrical content of Bhojpuri music. Bhojpuri songs, which were traditionally centered around folk themes and cultural rituals, began to include contemporary issues and urban experiences, making them more relatable to a modern audience. Songs dealing with romance, personal aspirations, and social commentary became more common in Bhojpuri music, mirroring the themes popularized by Bollywood.

Visual Aesthetics: The influence of Bollywood extends beyond just the music itself to the visual presentation of Bhojpuri music videos. Bhojpuri music videos began adopting Bollywood-style choreography, costumes, and cinematography, elevating the production quality and making the content more appealing to a broad audience. The use of glamorous settings, vibrant colors, and stylized performances in Bhojpuri music videos reflects Bollywood's impact on the industry.

3. Cross-Industry Collaborations: Bollywood Artists in Bhojpuri Music The collaboration between Bollywood and Bhojpuri artists has further strengthened the connection between the two industries. These collaborations have not only brought Bollywood’s production standards to Bhojpuri music but have also helped Bhojpuri music gain greater recognition.

Bollywood Singers and Composers: Over the years, several Bollywood playback singers and music composers have lent their talents to Bhojpuri music. Renowned Bollywood singers like Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, and Shreya Ghoshal have sung for Bhojpuri films, bringing their star power and vocal prowess to the industry. These collaborations have helped elevate the status of Bhojpuri music and introduced it to a broader audience.

Bollywood Actors in Bhojpuri Films: The participation of Bollywood actors in Bhojpuri films has also had a significant impact. Actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, and Manoj Tiwari (who transitioned from Bhojpuri cinema to Bollywood) have appeared in Bhojpuri films, attracting Bollywood fans to Bhojpuri music. Their presence in Bhojpuri films has helped bridge the gap between the two industries and boosted the popularity of Bhojpuri music.

Joint Productions and Music Releases: In recent years, there have been joint productions between Bollywood and Bhojpuri filmmakers, resulting in movies and music albums that appeal to both Bollywood and Bhojpuri audiences. These joint ventures have allowed for the exchange of creative ideas and resources, further blending the styles and expanding the reach of Bhojpuri music.

4. Audience Influence: How Bollywood Shaped Bhojpuri Music Consumption Bollywood's influence on Bhojpuri music extends to the audience as well. Bollywood has set certain expectations among music listeners, and Bhojpuri music has adapted to meet these demands.

Audience Preferences: The widespread popularity of Bollywood music has shaped the preferences of Bhojpuri music listeners. Audiences began to expect the same level of production quality, lyrical depth, and entertainment value from Bhojpuri music as they did from Bollywood. This shift in expectations pushed Bhojpuri music producers to raise their standards and deliver content that could compete with Bollywood music.

Expansion of Audience Base: Bollywood’s influence has also helped Bhojpuri music reach a more diverse audience. While Bhojpuri music was once confined to rural areas and Bhojpuri-speaking communities, Bollywood's involvement has introduced the genre to urban and non-Bhojpuri-speaking audiences. The crossover appeal of Bollywood-influenced Bhojpuri music has led to its inclusion in mainstream music platforms and increased its commercial viability.

Impact on Music Distribution: The Bollywood model of music distribution, which includes strategic marketing, music videos, and cross-promotion through films, has been adopted by the Bhojpuri music industry. This has led to more professional marketing strategies and a wider distribution network for Bhojpuri music, making it more accessible to a global audience.

5. The Future: Evolving Relationship Between Bollywood and Bhojpuri Music As both the Bollywood and Bhojpuri music industries continue to evolve, their relationship is likely to undergo further changes. The influence of Bollywood on Bhojpuri music presents both opportunities and challenges for the future.

Opportunities for Growth: The continued collaboration between Bollywood and Bhojpuri artists presents opportunities for the growth of Bhojpuri music. As more Bollywood talents engage with Bhojpuri music, the genre could see further innovation and reach new heights of popularity. Additionally, as Bollywood continues to explore regional markets, Bhojpuri music could gain even more exposure and acceptance among mainstream audiences.

Maintaining Cultural Identity: One of the challenges for Bhojpuri music is maintaining its cultural identity while embracing Bollywood influences. As the industry continues to integrate Bollywood elements, there is a risk of diluting the traditional aspects that make Bhojpuri music unique. The future of Bhojpuri music will depend on its ability to balance the influence of Bollywood while preserving its distinct cultural heritage.

Technological Integration: As digital platforms continue to play a significant role in music distribution, both Bollywood and Bhojpuri music industries will need to adapt to technological changes. The use of streaming services, social media, and digital marketing will be crucial in shaping the future of Bhojpuri music. Bollywood's expertise in leveraging these platforms could benefit Bhojpuri music, helping it reach new audiences and markets.

Conclusion: The influence of Bollywood on the Bhojpuri music industry has been profound, shaping its sound, style, and popularity. This relationship has brought about significant changes, allowing Bhojpuri music to evolve and reach a broader audience. However, it also presents challenges in terms of maintaining cultural authenticity and identity. As Bhojpuri music continues to grow, its relationship with Bollywood will likely play a key role in determining its future direction. The ongoing collaboration between these two industries offers exciting possibilities for innovation and expansion, making Bhojpuri music an integral part of India's diverse musical landscape.

i hate being predictable. Got this far into making the bow based on a mention of Rudra using one to pierce the sky and let rain down:

Bow: Steadfastness and reality-heaviness of elephants, the calling to wisdom and the scripts of the sky. Wood from a tree that grows connected to Ganga, the support of the World Tree that supports the rivers of beings’ experiences. Even stone of the mountain breaks, this is the unbreaking Abyss - which is loose, bendable to an extreme, so it’s tempered by the unbreaking mountain. The bend is countered by the weight of the unbreaking mountain String of the heart of the Almadia, the Weeping One, the liquid sky. No, too weak. Ugh, Lev says too complicated when I ask his advice. I say I want it to be grounded in reality, hence I weave things into it. He gives me a simplistic melody of an idea for it. The starry night sky holds the waters, therefore is master of the waters. I solidify it into the shape i had in mind, which mimics the waters of reality. Red wood. The string? “A calling, if it has to be” - he’s saying he suggests to just make the entire thing and not focus on individual parts. Sure. That, or make it call to the sky.

weird to be making a bow out of a mountain huh. anyway

so i went to go researching Rudra's bow because idk need a mental break before i come back to it

i saw this like ohhh thats significant. Destruction of Tripura im pretty sure reminds me of destruction of the Drowned City, where the sky was pierced and shattered (as the story goes)

yeah. hold on. that last bit? especially because Mount Mandara is the thing fashioned to churn the ocean of milk, which is something i havent sat with and dissected but i swear its about the solidification of the cosmic ocean into matter and non-matter. which. temper the abyss with the mountain - yeah. take unsolidity of the cosmic waters, use the cosmic waters, and make them solid with the mountain. ok

THE NEXT STAGE

Where was I before I was so rudely interrupted by the need for sleep? Ahhh, New York City in 1968. Slow changes were gone, speed was catching us all up. Today's fashions lasted a day, Studio 54, Peter Max, psychedelia, Across the Universe. If I wave my hands now I can see great bubbles spewing from my finger tips of the wanderings we did, the discoveries we made, all wrapped in glorious bright luminescent colors. Cheryl was obsessed with New Hope, PA. Her parents lived in the outskirts of Princeton and it was just 1/2 hour drive to New Hope, after an hour's bus ride from the New York Porth Authority, where the crafts folk made and sold their wares. A new world opened up, Byron Temple's pottery, the pot smoke so thick you could get a contact high just sitting outside on the mountain among the kilns. Leather workers, potters, woodworkers, stained and blown glass, the Now and Then Shop where Patchouli mixed with Nag Champa and you wore that scent for days just by loitering for 15 minutes. It briefly disguised the pungent and ever pervasive lingering aroma of ganga.

Cheryl had moved into an apartment on 37th and 3rd and her drug wasted boyfriend had either gone into rehab or run away, but either way, she needed a roommate and I was finally able to flee my parent's house and rules. I worked on Madison Avenue at Y&R and quickly realized I couldn't see myself typing and taking shorthand for these Mad Men for very long. Cheryl worked in the Grace Building for NYU. Neither of us saw a future here. It was a nice place to visit but...

A plan was born to find a way to move to New Hope. Listen, this is my life...I get an idea and a train pulls up right in front of me that says "here's the way, jump on." Have I never jumped on? No, and again, no.

We saw an ad somewhere for lessons in weaving. The 2nd floor of the YWCA on 9th on the upper west side was a sea of looms. We learned about warp and weft, the heddles, the selvage. Yarn in every conceivable color and texture. After 3 months we were anxious to leave the city and ready to follow our dream. Our lease was up, an apartment opened up on 32 South Main Street above Dr. Ricker's office, a loom was for sale from an old attic of an old lady in Flemington, NJ. Cheryl's father picked us up, we loaded our possessions into his truck and drove out through the night, over the bridges and landed in our new home.
