Let's talk about little girl's skulls & 13 year-old boys drawing. Let's talk about you saddling horses and then we'll watch what you got in store. Let's talk about green onions and terra cotta (just to lighten the mood). Then push me out of your car. I'll dream of tigers. I'll continue to be loud and too much and big.

XO, Robyn

I'm on fire in an annoying way tonight. But don't worry, I apologize for it. There was also a bit of a snafu where I almost told you to watch the new CAT STEVENS comedy special on Netflix. Can you imagine that shit? Someone should make that for real. And lastly my leaky, unsteady heart set off an impassioned round of applause for each one of you.

“When the mind is exhausted of images, it invents its own.” -Gary Snyder

Tonight I talk (again) about the ample chest of my grandma and what that meant to me when we hugged. After that, I accidentally talk shit about people who have muscles. And then I read a couple of very short poems & end the podcast more satisfied with life than I've ever sounded in the history of my time on the planet. It was kinda strange. But really good. And I'm back to normal already, so I'm really glad I got to spend that minute with you.

Lots of love to you all as this year approaches a full dissolve. While the 2017 You melts away, I wish you a 2018 brighter and stronger than you could have imagined. We're all in this together.

I will be feet from John Goodman tomorrow. My energy level is low. I once went to the proctologist. I'm vulnerable and I like that. The horse knows that his owner is a torturer. Watch your back.
