Thanks to know you, thanks that you and yours are OK, thanks that I can be part of this entire great mystery. Sometimes I don&#8217;t understand a minute of it. I survived a house fire back in Green Bay 2002ish. We&#8217;re all standing outside on the next door neighbor&#8217;s lawn and a 6 year old I&#8217;ll never forget looks up at me and says, &#8220;Oh my God Marco, I hope your classical is OK.&#8221; She knew how much more important that guitar was to me than my other guitars. She said a mouthful. I&#8217;m attached to many things including that &#8217;50s hand made Mexican, etc. But even among those guitars, and everything else I possess, my immediate thought was to look around and see that each and every one of us was relatively OK, and know that that means sooooooooo much more.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and my corner of the house was just fine. The smoky smells around those guitars are milder than I&#8217;d prefer I think. Because if it reeked every time I opened a guitar case, I&#8217;d most likely tell this whole story more often!<\/p>\n<p>Wow, why did I wait so long to tell people again? Thanks for being you, Darryl.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll add one other event that blogging this has brought back to me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/muffinbottoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/clearcut4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-615\" title=\"clearcut4\" src=\"http:\/\/muffinbottoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/clearcut4-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"http:\/\/muffinbottoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/clearcut4-300x240.jpg 300w, http:\/\/muffinbottoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/clearcut4.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was staying in Corbin Harney&#8217;s trailer in Oregon. He was still alive, but living in Nevada or California somewhere doing all the great things he does. I felt honored to be told I can stay at his place as long as I want, just that if he ever needs it I&#8217;ll have to use a tent outside of it for him. Of course. Well one of those nights I slept through a very rocky, windy, turbulent storm. I&#8217;d burned Sage before I went to bed.<\/p>\n<p>On that land, we always used to wake up with the Sun and sing morning prayers, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Well that morning I was awakened by more than just, &#8220;time to get up,&#8221; like normal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Marco, are you ok?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course I&#8217;m fine, I thought. What are they worried about. Maybe I dreamed the whole storm, I remember thinking, and joking that maybe I touched back down at Dorothy&#8217;s place in Kansas. Well I didn&#8217;t know the half of it!!! I got up, and looked around outside to get in a good space for ceremony; but was given some serious pause around me. A Quonset hut up the hill with a bunch of storage stuff was completely upside down. The huge antique mash tent next to it was blown all around a bit too but intact. The path of destruction turned up dirt, rocks, branches everything in its way as it winded down the hill straight at me where I slept until it got to the stream between the cyclone and me. Well this crooked little dust devil banged a left right at that stream followed it past me until a point where the stream turned and he didn&#8217;t where he continued on straight away from there.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you God!
