this is one of my proudest moments. im siting on the front porch of my home listening to the birthday party of kids out front yelling the game's rules to each other, a helicopter swarms them with its sound, i cut off the recording, frustrated that its taken over such beauty but quickly resume when i realize it poses such dynamic sound, albeit horrifying. it finishes with the tradition of CAKE

I was visiting my best friend while she studied abroad in Copenhagen. we took 10 days to hike el Camino de Norte. we stayed a night in Irún and woke up to the city shut down for running of the bulls. we stayed another night and the next day boarded the bus for Bilbao, Spain. the headrest of the seat in front of us on the bus offered a few radio stations and i became enamored with this song. 6 1/2 years later i finally shazam-ed it and was quickly led down a path of spanish resistance punk music.

hallowing benediction from an empty stone church in spain while my best friend and i hiked the el camino de santiago, in the north route of spain along the coast. track photo is from a shower i took that day in an albergue. we were both exploring what it meant to be a christian at the time and stretching our options than from the Lutheran church we grew up in. seems appropriate now that it was on the el camino, a historical religious pilgrimage. im the one who started singing the beneditcion. i wish to be able to sing like i was able to, but i have matured and my voice has changed. i was 19.

my best friend and i were on the el camino, this was one of our most favorite days. we ended the day in irun, spain with plenty of ale from a farm to share amongst the pilgrims. i had bought a marigold salve at an honor system table outside a farm gate just after this respite in the evergreens. this salve stayed with me for a long time and i used it sparingly but enough so as to not let it go rancid from rationing.
