I know I'm a one-trick pony, but I'm sure you will enjoy my novel "Deus ex Mexicana" (so called because it will have a deus ex machina ending involving Mexicans) when it releases.(less)

There were these two guys I stumbled across who were both communists and they were like really good friends with each other... Like bros, or comrades I guess. They were also Native American... So I decided to write about them time travelling back to indigenous societies before European invasion. They compared their views to ancient societies. So that's what inspired me to write "The Turtle Island Explorer". You can get it for free on Amazon Kindle or download it from my website. It's trash though. (less)

Nezahualcóyotl
“What shall I take with me?
Will I let nothing behind me over the earth?
How shall my heart act?
Is it that we come in vain to live,
to sprout over the earth?
Let us leave at least flowers,
let us leave at least songs.”
Nezahualcóyotl

Bruce Chatwin
“If this were so; if the desert were 'home'; if our instincts were forged in the desert; to survive the rigours of the desert - then it is easier to understand why greener pastures pall on us; why possessions exhaust us, and why Pascal's imaginary man found his comfortable lodgings a prison.”
Bruce Chatwin, The Songlines
