up the monastic

And so it came to pass

the end of everything,when clark went away.

The fidel built the monastary.

the quiet was broken only by the sounds of tools

down the canyon at the coast highway

the window looking into the skylit showroom softly lit the finished boards.

donations of remnant foam crafted into fine waveriders

new fast growth redwood bookmatched ,curly,fiddleback and straight grain

literally glowed in the mid day sun.

The three small ,relativly ,sixty foot converted seiners cargo boats

provided the balsa,cedar and fir.

Semi annual junkets spanning the hemispheres

bringing true materials into the fold

like the final whipped eggwhites to the rellenos made the difference.

small communities harvesting renewable wood

cherry picking and selecting the lightest tightest figured wood

for the monastary…

the oldest guys were here,names memorable and of no particular note

running kilns , steamers ,boil tanks ,and presses.

the funds came from nowhere ,and the store on he highway.

the only public access to the grounds were by way of the

fish tank surv cams .The international web seminars were instrumental

in the growth of wood board ware.

Interaction was the norm

students spread thin accross the globe could confrence with the master sculptor in process.

some talked the whole time fielding questions

others were silent unless they were inbetween passes.

the reservation was the umbrella for these refugees

sovreignty insulated the monastics from woe.

the food was grown on site and locally

the game in the canyon was seasonal.

the monastary was only a dream.

Until after the fall .or the cataclysm

as st.dora the maligned predicted

… ambrose…

the waves in the cove

got really good

once in a while

Quickly back to nature we tread, if but for an instant, our cheeks flush with the pounding of blood as inspiration will clutch our collective hearts and we will surely push forward into the thick of the intent as laid out by the sacred path makers and takers and those that wrought our dreams into being to be embraced as THE righteous action/activity.

Burn down the mission, if we’re gonna stay alive…
