Sidewalk Ninja

 

We attempt to attend this public filming of a certain famous Asian news woman. We are all very excited. We must traverse a very steep hill to get to our destination. I decide to leave my bike halfway up the hill. We make it to the top and from there we can see the back side of the filming set. It now becomes increasingly difficult. There are a number of wide stairwells just before a series of moving sidewalks like you would expect in an airport. These sidewalks move fast and once once begins you cannot hesitate to jump on for they all move at different rhythms. There were three others with me trying to get to the same place. I ninja style make my way across.

 

Fragments

There is a new place for us to live.

A stadium.

Bunk beds. Sheets. Water.

We are all gathered in theater style seating.

Nadra.

A younger man.

River Retreat

I am at some sort of lodge. I am working. Nadra and maybe Renee are here. They are staying and I am working. Suzette and Kenny are here as well. At some point we are in the river. The river or ocean we are swimming in is accessed by a tall wall/barrier. There is a ladder, wooden, you can climb to get in and out. It is dark, maybe dusk. We realize that the ladder is gone. The two people who swim with me are very worried, I dont' seem to share their panic. I use a little logic and we are safely up the ladder. "I can't believe we didn't realize the ladder was gone!"

In the lodge I go around doing various tasks. I have a sense that I'm half-assing my work. With all the distractions of everyone I know around. I pop in on Kenny for a bit and he is only interested in drinking his huge bottle of whiskey.

I am in some one's room that I should not be. There are many entrance in and out of the rooms in the lodge. In the end I am on a porch speaking with John Schleining.
