And speaking of buses... I've met a handful of people who've never rode
on a city bus, not too unusual. But last month my ex told me she'd never
been on a Greyhound bus. That's outrageous! Ever American must take at
least one long, lonely ride... staring out the window at endless rows of
corn in the moonlight... while former soldiers and salesman snore and
mutter in their sleep.

Then there's the screaming kids, the babbling, un-washed psychopath and
the stranger next to you who tells you everything you didn't want to
know about his cousin in Cleveland in enough detail to span three time
zones.

Leslie, my companion who's never been through this right of passage,
didn't want to hear another word. As we were leaving our favorite
restaurant, I took her by the arm and started pulling her toward the
Greyhound bus station down the street. "It's time for your initiation,"
I told her.

"No! I won't do it!"

"Yes you will. You will get on that bus with only the clothes on your
back, a suitcase and an AM transistor radio."

"NO!"

"You will get a job as waitress in a truck stop outside of
Chattanooga. You will get a bee hive hair do, wear cheap
 lipstick and learn how to smoke (and quit) cigarettes."

"NO! I not getting on that horrible bus!"

"Oh yes you are... and you'll memorize every Patsy Cline hit and
 Elvis B side in existence. And you will love it."

"No! Let go of me!"

I let her go (we were both laughing at that point).

What does any of this have to do with Kundalini? Honestly, I don't have
a clue. But I do know that I still get a rush from "Jailhouse Rock."
And I get the feeling that Goddess put Patsy, Elvis, the Stones,
Beethoven and Ravi Shankar all on the same jukebox.

See You All Along Route 66,
(or the trans-Canadian or
 Siberian railroads...
 two of my "before I die
 I'm going to do it" goals)
