    I ran away from home when I was a child. I left and never returned. At the time I couldn’t filter out the noise in my head, the casual blend of anger and sadness which seemed to come over me like a terrible virus that didn’t get better, or go away. The symptoms of silence, unexpressed rage, exploding sexuality and violence did not subside, and it took handfuls of quaaludes and seconal, bottles of cheap whiskey, and endless spoons of opiates and amphetamines to approach anything like quiet inside of me. Of course these miracle drugs left me dead in a bathtub by the time I was 17, but I never believed there was a future anyway, so I was not deterred by the fear of death, or threat of damage to my health. I didn’t care. Not that I consciously thought this, but from my actions it seemed that quiet inside of me was more important than anything else.

    My parents divorced when I was 8. At the time I was glad. My home wasn’t happy, and I was thrilled when my mother woke me in the middle of the night, and we packed our things and stole out into her orange volvo station wagon and headed out into the stars. I left my brother behind, my dog, and the only sense of “normal” I would ever know. I didn’t know that this would fracture me even further than I was already. I thought it would heal my mother, make her happy, and I thought it would heal me too. I imagined a happy home, away from yelling, fists, violence, and isolation where we would be happy at last. My mother in those days was truly my best and only friend. I wanted her to be happy, and even though I didn’t have words yet to express how I felt, I knew we were moving in the right direction.

    For a year we were happy. I remember the year between 8 and 9 as the only happy year of my childhood. My mother and I lived in a little house by ourselves. I had a baby duck for a pet. I went to a new school and made my first friends. My hair grew out from a silly bowl cut into feathered, shoulder length hair. People liked me. I played doctor with the neighbor girls, and we dreamt of growing up, getting married, being happy.

    My mother remarried, I began to drink alcohol every day, taking pills just to see what they would do, and we moved from our little happy house to Telegraph Hill. I lost myself again completely. I had cracked my head open in a drainage ditch, so my beautiful hair had to be shaved off and 81 stitches sewn slowly into my scalp. The world looked different with a shaved head in 1976. The whole world had long hair, facial hair, pubic hair. Everything was about hair. And I scowled at the world through crooked glasses, and a velour v-neck pullover shirt and high-waited, whaler bell Brittania jeans. My little refuge turned upside down, and there was no place for me in it anymore. Since I never spoke I didn’t have the words for what I was feeling. I didn’t tell anyone. I just put on my plastic jacket, wrapped my cowboy boots in lamp chains, and never returned.

    I made my home in the streets of San Francisco. I made my home in arms of lonesome men. I made my home in the ever changing arms of protective women. I made my home in a plywood box sitting on top of a boat trailer in a small parking lot beside a pizza parlor. I made my home in a needle. I made my home in the bathroom of burned out bars, and community halls. I made my home in the company of homeless people, lost kids, and hustlers, liars, fighters, lovers, and fiends.

    I suppose I have not yet let go of the idea that “home” is a place I can still go. I still believe that somehow, you and I will connect, and love will reign supreme. That as free as you are, love will bring you home. I still believe that I am home. I still believe that you are home. So no matter where we go, no matter what we do, no matter what we feel, no matter what… we will come home, and heal, and love, and grow. I’ve never had a home. Not like this. But I am willing, and I am ready to accept responsibility for myself, and keep my own house in order, and be the radiant home I have ached for all my life. If it weren’t for all this unconditional love I feel so dearly and deeply for the world I would say something stupid here like “sometimes I wonder if I’ve ever even been in love.” And if it weren’t for all this joy I find in the present moment I would say something even more stupid here like “sometimes I am just so happy that I want to throw myself off the roof.”

    Of course I’ve been in love. I have given freely of my heart. And of course I am not going to jump off the roof. Jumping sounds like fun, but we can’t fly. So it’s best just to crawl over to the edge, and remember that the roof is on a building which contains my house. My home.

    Last night’s broadcast was perhaps a dissertation on how maybe in my heart of hearts still believe in “home” but I know that there is truly no place to set my heart down just yet. No place I know anyway. I gathered you up to love you with all my heart with the idea that as alone as we are, we are all together. We are like beautiful stars, shining in the night’s sky. Attendance was excellent, and the community was warm and easy. New and old faces in the chat, and lots of listeners throughout the night. So much support and love. Thank you.

    Wherever you find yourself in this world my friend. May the stars heal your heart, and bring you right home. I’ll be here, loving you the whole time.
