"What is the best place on earth?"The best place on earth is when I'm kicking back with good friends, real friends. And I'm doing so well, I have a stash of fillintheblank to share. Friends, and there's talking and hearing and being. Moments of nothing in between moments of great stories. But it doesn't even
matter if anyone is talking. Like, a warm night when it's 76 degrees F outside, on a patio overlooking a dark canyon with really good wine that doesn't give you a headache the next day. And something like Plastic Ono Band playing lightly behind the walls. And it's so good I forget what it feels like to be in my skin. Or maybe I forget I have skin. Which is the best for me. Because that's truth.
Like when we were sitting on those bleachers at that park in Sierra Madre, the sun was starting to go down. Just talking and staring at those puffy green mountains. They looked lilac and blue. The only thing missing was a doob. But then I would have never been able to drive you back in that rental.
I mean, I think those are the moments I live for.
