THE TWO SONAR OPERATORS ARE BOTH IN SICK BAY WITH EAR INJURIES . THEIR HEADSETS WERE ON HIGH AND THEY WERE LISTENING INTENTLY. THEY SENT PINGS OUT ON FREQUENCY 420, IT BOOMED HOME A DAY LATER AT 1220 AND BEFORE THEY COULD RIP THEIR HEADSETS OFF ANOTHER ONE , AN UNEXPECTED ONE- SENT OUT AT 150 WALLOPED BACK AT 720. BOTH MEN WENT OVER BACKWARDS IN THEIR CHAIRS. EVEN WITH SPLITTING EARACHES , THEY BOTH HOISTED A THUMBS UP. ON THE BLOOD COUNT RADIO FREQUENCIES WE'VE HAD A HUGE DAY.
IF WE GET TWO MORE THAT LOOK LIKE THIS ONE, THEN WE WILL HAVE REACHED THE ENCHANTED LAND CALLED "ENGRAFTMENT". WE WILL DROP ANCHOR IN THE LOAMY SAND OF BROTHER DAVES STEM CELLS AND HAVE OURSELVES A TIME ..ONE BIG PART OF THIS JOURNEY WILL BE COMPLETE.
I TRY TO CONTAIN THE PARTY ATMOSPHERE THAT IS SPREADING ON THE SUBMARINE . WE'RE NOT THERE UNTIL WE'RE THERE . IT DIDN'T CALM THINGS ANY WHEN THE CHIEF ENGINEER HARD WIRED THE U2 SONG 'ELEVATION' INTO THE PA SYSTEM AND LEFT IT ON CONTINUOUS LOOP. THERE IS A STRONG SENSE IN EVERYONE THAT WE ARE CLOSING ON TO THE COORDINATES OF OUR NEW HOME .
THE DIVING PLANES ARE ANGLED NOW MOVING THE SUBMARINE TOWARDS THE SURFACE AT A STEEP ANGLE , IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE DAYS TO GET THERE , BUT THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADED. AS FAST AS SHE CAN TAKE US .
IT'S SUNDAY AFTERNOON ON PHINNEY RIDGE. VERY LAZY. TWO GREAT WALKS TO TODAY, ONE WITH SISTER CAMILLE AND ONE WITH LONG TIME FRIEND LIBBY. THE DOGS STILL CONSIDER ME A TRAITOR BECAUSE I WONT TOUCH THEM NOW. KIDS RIDE THEIR BIKES WOBBLY DOWN THE SIDEWALK AND FAT GUYS WORK ON THEIR MOTORBIKES. THE FLOWERS ARE INTOXICATING. YOU GOTTA LOVE THE WHOLE PACKAGE.
I'M TAKING SOME NICE DEEP BREATHS, KHUN CHUCK

REMINDERS
Before dawn, across the whole road
as I pass I feel spiderwebs.
Within people's voices, under their words or
woven into the pauses,
I hear a hidden sound.
One thin green light flashes over
a smooth sea
just as the sun goes down.
What roses lie on the altar of evening
I inhale carefully,
to keep more of.
Tasting all these things
and letting them have
their ways to waken me,
I shiver and resolve:
In my life, I will more than live.
