Transcription
#### LEFT PAGE:

You always find it
from a windy nothin
& down shit hole
on an elephant. I said
yes. By the time I
bicycled home someone
had called Mom to tell
her they saw her daughter
on an elephant. She
said, "What were you doing
on top of an elephant?"
You have to know
Columbus, NE in the late
1950's to understand the
sheer unlikelihood of this.


#### RIGHT PAGE:

I can still recall that
step onto an elephant's
back. That was the
first time. The second
time was in Jaipur, in
India.
So.
These dream interpretations
How wonderful, auspicious,
and meaningful it sounds!
