The World Within

I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.

How the Elves Settled Texas

-
[Speakeasy, TX, San Marcos] Rivendell Restaurant & Gardens : When the first elvish settlers moved into Texas, they planted the young seeds that would become Rivendell Restaurant & Gardens. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be. Only a few thousand years after the elves passed on the restaurant to human caretakers, the restaurant closed... and San Marcos lost one of its premier attractions to the city. This Tolkienesque experience was a restaurant with every wall painted in murals of fields and forests, with trees that poured water in cascades down their stumps and with sofas formed of stones. The cats had likely been bribed by the cooks to stay away from the tables where customers dined on savory sandwiches made from fresh-baked bread. Wandering the tiered gardens after the meal was a refreshing way to let the tummy settle before heading down to the San Marcos river for an afternoon swim. I can attest to the fact that there's still an elf here and there near the river... or at l...

My conversion of a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT into a super stealthy mobile home and portable art studio as I made the transition from hitchhiker to vanlifer. The song is "Smoke & Mirrors" by TOR. He's made it available for free download (or by donation): https://tor-beatsloopsdrafts.bandcamp.com/album/beats-loops-drafts Join my endless horizons and infinite fractal worlds on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jayaprime One of the only parts left OUT of the video is my additions to put up black out curtains in a ring around the bed. A tip for others, and that is to use dark gray or black curtains along the sides and dividing the front, but use turquoise or slate on the very back. The tinting in the back works with the color to really make it look like a seat and not a curtain. Shouting out so much love and gratitude to YOU -- to all my patrons, investors, and supporters who fuel every mile along the road and who sets these fractals on fire: The Skybreak Trib...

The Day Out of Time

-
The year comes to an end, and the Day Out of Time is tomorrow on the 21st... and then the Year in a Day the day after, a day that comes only every four years. There is so much that has happened in the past four years I need to reflect on.... and, looking to the future, so many things to work towards in the next four years. I am in the country of Andorra, too far from the woman I love, but fighting for ways for us to be together. I have learned more about the laws of the Schengen Zone in the past month than I think anyone should know. Before, I ignored those laws like many others... but I am no longer alone, and ignoring them could mean being exiled more than 10,000kms from my woman.. and other dangers also. Level of everything-hell-the-frakked-up at well over 1000% and killing me. Tomorrow, on the Day Out of Time, I will walk and climb into the mountains of Andorra and away from the world... returning in a few days. There are many, many mountain refuges here in Andorra. I will be h...
