Could I live here

Awake now since before 6am, I am in the midst of processing the past few days. Prague is a possible place to explore living in for a while, I had considered Paris but I am of the sound mind that Paris was the canvas for my mother’s adventure. Also my birthfather has laid claim to that city. Knowing all of this I had decided to allow a place to speak to me and possibly become my next destination once the tour comes to its natural conclusion. I write now of my experience of Prague from sweet memories as I sit in my hotel room in Budapest.

May I begin with the most important tip I was given. Walking is the only way to fully immerse yourself in the old section of Prague. Knowing what I know now would’ve saved me having to buy a pair of Adidas after naively setting off in a pair of flip-flops. Cobblestone streets are everywhere and truth be told you won’t want to stop exploring. I must have walked more in Prague than anywhere else in Europe thus far. I was on my own which may have been a blessing as I go over the events of the last few days. By being alone, Prague itself became my companion. Isabel had invited me to go with her and her trusty camera but I wanted to be a tourist and she needed to be a photographer and we both knew those can be two very different journeys. I’ve been giving Pips her space. We’ve known each other for so long that words aren’t really necessary. I can feel her and I know that she is on the hunt. When she’s ready to formulate all that she has been collecting there will be a knock on my door usually before daybreak with room service in tow and a dissertation of information. But until then she stays in the shadows gathering clues and clocking every player’s move. As for Santa….well I’m blowed. Pardon my French but what other expression can cover it? Gobsmacked, utterly speechless. A jaw dropper. We walked into the hotel in Prague and suddenly Santa stopped dead in her tracks. Across the lobby was a tall dark handsome staring back at her. Suffice it to say that Santa has not been seen since, not even in Bratislava. Word has it that the two of them are flying into today. I honestly know no more than that.

I hope Santa stays away for a while because she's doing too many shows. I think you need a chance to shine. I just realised the beauty of Beuaty of Speed last week.

Clyde, tell Tori you need to lead the posse.

ps. your blog is by far the best

I just found something out about Paris the other day...did you know about the underground rivers? Apparently there's some sort of OLD underground brewery, and now artists go down there and crawl through these tunnels and caverns, and graffiti the place up. It looked exquisite on the tube anyway...great art...thought you might be interested...
Love,
Martha

I'm bummed, I can't believe she's falling for a penis beast-YUK! tall dark's are gross and so is the thing between their legs...

Prague is enchanting. Glad you were able to have some quiet time.

jd - there is hope ~ i think she said "a tall dark handsome" - did she mention gender at all? Santa is the tall dark handsome whateva seeking type, dontcha think? either way, beauty is beauty - one must follow where the hunger leads.

it is almost midnight and i am finishing up work in NC... glad to find this entry before bed.

this is the best-est gift Tori and her Posse could give to her peeps... a place to pretend, play, reflect. Blessed be that Tori of a 1000 oceans.

Hi Clyde, how are you? I just wanted to tell you that I love your songs. Please send my love to all the other girls, i´m afraid I´m quite busy and your blog is the first blog I´ve visited of the 5.

My name is Matías and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina... My dear Subterranean Girl, it would be almost impossible to tell you how much you girls have taught me, amused me, elevated me, how much depth I´ve gained from myself through you.

I know this is quite difficult, but if you could ever come to Buenos Aires to play, well, it would be Heaven and Earth mating ;)

Kisses, see you soon.

Hi Clyde! Love your reflective blogs muchly :) The next time you decide to play could you PLEASE consider letting Digital Ghost in? I am dying to hear it live...such a moving song.

Also, one of my fav artists I discovered at an art fair is Laura Junge at j2gallery.com . She's kinda like a fun female Dali haha. My fav painting is "Floating Amidst February's Love". I think you would like it too if you feel like checking it out!

Love,

Val

Clyde, you are so clued into your other dollfriends. Probably too much so, but I can relate.

Happyleighme said...

p.s. I am really digging the art work you have shared: Plain Chant by Leonora Carrington - reminds me of a feminine, earthy, story-telling Klee.

You are .. beautiful.
In manifestation, in idea, and in action.
Drop me a line sometime.


p.s. Prague is a great city for spying the past. It's little antique shops are the best for time-traveling. I once found a shop stocked with medieval icons for sale. Strange, that something so precious .. would be hanging, ready, bought and sold. I felt like a thief even contemplating it, being so close to those pieces of [protected] past.

Sometimes those words just hang there, gently floating, waiting to shine or sting...
who knows, who can tell what the next chapter will bring?
Love to one and all...

Hi Clyde,
I am glad you showed up today in Switzerland. It's always nice to see you.

OK, so I just a bloke

but if I disect my personality
for real, there is a woman or two in there somewhere.
If somebody a slave, but can only see themselves as a slave,
all they can ever hope to achieve is freedom from slavery,
no longer being a slave don't mean you've achieved all that you could achieve,

OK, so I just a bloke,
but if I achieve

I will no longer be a slave,
I will no longer be a woman,
I will no longer be a man,

I will be

Maybe we've got to see beyond

Love and Love to you all

I don't think I ever want to stop exploring. Even wallpaper holds more secrets than a lifetime could uncover.

Hi Clyde,

So I'm sure this is pretty obvious but the Russian Matryoshka Dolls could be a metaphor of sorts for your Posse.

We are sooooo friggin multi-dementional and that makes me so friggin happy. No more serving this persona or that persona ... but the collective. We can be one body with many parts. Nevertheless, I need to ask... Where is Clyde?

Hey Clyde!
How are you?
So have you enjoyed visiting Prague?
I think yes!!!
Cause Prague is one of the most beautiful and magic cities in the world. I have been there only once but it was enough to fall in love with this city.
SO, don't you want to share your thoughts??
