Heat

The neighbor's A C started droning way before it got hot. Last year I got A C. This year I don't have electricity.

I pried open some more windows and taped a screen that doesn't fit right into the back door. Cooler.

Nobody can be hot for five minutes.
A C in houses
A C in cars
A C at work.
It's like we can't be in direct contact with the natural world anymore.

When I was a kid at the beach we didn't have A C. It's New England- we had a sea breeze.
And if there was no breeze- we were hot.

Sit in zen pose
and be hot.
Be aware of the sweat breaking out on your skin.
A C is noisy.
Heat is quiet.
Be the heat.
