❤️Oh, the sea!

Oh, the sea! You are so pretty,
beautiful from a far distance.
People love you.
I am, too, dreaming
of loving you, like others.
…
That is nothing else
but warnings for lovers.
No love is there but death.
That means omitting
my dream..
Is that possible?..

On The Road With Al & Ivy: Blog Entry for Jan. 16

There were two recent news stories that made me think about the events in my Anthology: one that warned that many victims of the L.A. Fire might have to find shelter in a tight real estate market and that layoffs were occurring in the SF Bay Area.

On the street level, those people who have no short-term solution will face a local population mainly composed of compassionate people but with many who’ll automatically label them as druggies, mentally ill, or transients who prefer the homeless life.

For example, I often shake my head at the stereotype that most homeless have a mental illness, not because it’s completely false; it’s because, having lived that life, I saw that the homeless population was like a diverse village surrounded by a lot of neurotics, sociopaths, and psychotics from the “respectable world” who exploited, harassed and punished the inhabitants. People experiencing homelessness don’t have a monopoly on mental illness.

Most cruel acts are rarely reported in the media, if at all. For one thing, many of the incidents and acts documented in my upcoming novel would have been hard to prove in Court or not seen as a big deal (especially if the victim was a woman). 
Rather than try to give you an instant insight or solution to what is now a very complex problem, here are some excerpts from the Anthology. Kindle Unlimited members can read the ebook for free.

My novel, which should be out in a few weeks, will be more of a complete statement (by me, anyway).

On The Road With Al & Ivy
The Anthology Vol. 1:  2016-2018

Chapter 2: August 2, 2016 (selected excerpts)

“Society isn't all to blame though. We don't live in a pure democracy, otherwise most of the crooks and 1%ers would have been run out of town by now. We live in a capitalist system that trades security for freedoms. It's obvious that we're living in a transitional era, like the Industrial Age, and old jobs are disappearing and a younger generation is taking over the workforce.”

“Homelessness and poverty is a situation that a free market economy simply isn't equipped to handle (or gives a crap about)…workers are valued by capitalism as long as they're needed, then it's someone else's problem.”

“The media view is almost always of people who are struggling and miserable…It's a narrow view, and can lead others who haven't dropped that far to think that they've hit bottom. The mental is as important as the physical. ” 

“I holed up in motels to avoid the shame of being seen sleeping in my car, and committed, as many homeless would later tell me, the most common rookie error. I thought being in a motel was a smaller fall from grace, but it just ate up my cash fast and I ended up in the car anyway.”

“The most pressing questions are; where can one sleep in a car, stay warm on the surprisingly cold nights, and HOW does one sleep in a car? For the first few weeks, on top of the pressing need to find a job and a place to live, was how to survive in the meantime.”

“Media stories about homelessness aren't much help. It's either all scare stories, referrals to swamped and underfunded agencies, or a focus on the more newsworthy drug problems and killings. Nothing I read told me that the first night in a car would be in bad light conditions; that it was easy to lose things (like a flashlight), food spills at night are discovered later while sleeping, and that eating spicy foods ensures that the you'll be going out as often as the dog.”

“The main problem was sleep. It got to the point where a month later I was hallucinating on the freeway from sleep deprivation. I was seeing imaginary fallen trees and rivers that needed to be avoided, and at one point, the road seemed to just disappear…I decided that the other stuff, like finding a job, etc, could resolve soon, but until then, I was homeless and had better get good at it.
