Back Of The House Energy (night of 25/09/2023)

I am in America with my cousin James. He has moved into a new house. We are in a room at the back of the house. A grey, autumnal room - feeling both haunted and cosy. I talk with people about houses having 'back of the house' energy and 'front of the house' energy. This means that rooms at the back and the front have different feelings to them - rooms at the back of the house have a more insular, introspective feeling. Rooms at the front of the house are brighter and more extrovert.

Walking through some kind of shopping mall with James. He moves quickly, and I find it difficult to keep up with him. I lose him in the basement level of some kind of bookstore selling fanzines. I am sure that I will catch up with him. i hope I do anyway.

I cannot believe I am in America. I think about James's old house - he ha smoved from Portland to somewhere like Washington. It would be impossible to pop over to his old hosue as America is so large.
