Last night I dreamed of Ecuador. The hills blanketed with forest that I once ran were now lined with broken down automobiles. The road which I found myself getting lost on now had bright green signs telling me exactly where I was. I started running, and an Amazonian insect jumped onto my tailbone and started sucking the energy out of me. Then I woke up. Of course, she was also there, and of course, I learned from her presence, or lack thereof.
