Call of the road

I've never been much for planning. I prefer to improvise... but with intention. I find that if I visualize what I want to happen, it generally will. Here is a little sample of some pre-trip prophecizing. Little windows into the future. Am I shaping the future, or is it shaping me?

I'm gonna rest my brain and simply listen to the pitter patter of pavement on rubber and the conversations taking place one booth over. I'll read novels, practice guitar, and follow the flow of the moment. I'll walk the streets and sniff out little adventures and strange conversations. My goal is to listen and flow. I have half a plan to interview interesting people, perhaps more as a conversation starter than anything else. It would also help me to get past the interminable smalltalk that hijacks so many conversations these days.

Hope the van holds up.
