About Me

Crowchild huddles next to his little fire made from the bleached and twisted deadfall. The night sounds and terror thralls surround him, the threatening world stretching out to places unimaginable, endless void, awaiting his helpless sleep.
But just then, the desert wind carresses him, hushed and tender, melting darkness into a melody.
Crowchild begins to cry. For the desert's gift (its what his mother's voice would have sounded like, he thinks, if he had a mother). For the desert's kindness.
An orphan's lullaby.
He dips into his worn canvas backpack and pulls out a small box he has been decorating, tiny spirals of sand glued to the outside, and catches just a little of the wind, to remind him. Puts it back into the sack with maybe ten others to keep it company and curls into blue and red striped wool blanket to dream.
I am Harold, from "Harold and Maude." I'm
a sensitive, but...weird...soul.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People with a magical sensability, topological charlatans, people with a fuming madness for experience and curiosity. People who still believe in something. People who smile at the shifting shadows of sunlight through trees. People who pray to be in a generous mood. People who are brave enough to be fragile. People who don't offer the dictionary as a form of truth. And people who don't enlarge themselves by reducing others. Pirate gypsies, spectacular thinkers, tinker gnomes, chaos junkies, saw players, mad faeries, people who can introduce me to new things. Or anyone who can help me unlearn.

Buying a hotdog at 2:30 am on Broadway

I round the QFC onto Pike past two sketchy dudes who eye me for weakness. The garble of laughter and shouts I had been hearing shows itself huddled around a low truck with illuminated Coke signs...
