Under the Guamuchile Tree

By: Megan Andrejco

Part travel journal, part diatribe, with a sprinkling of philosophy and cultural criticism, Under the Guamuchile Tree is a psychological trip through a consciousness seeking to understand itself."In order to live without illusions, you have to listen to your mind. It's the mind that creates illusion. You have to do something to occupy it. Live life, pay attention to it, have no expectations. But no matter what I tell myself, I still go along inventing scenarios. I still create the future before I get there. Some kind of habit I acquired very young, to escape the life I was in. Now, supposedly, I have the life I want, the life I myself chose to live, and still I am frustrated with it because somehow it doesn't match up. I don't want this, I say with disgust. I didn't choose this. So who says I have anything to choose? Where did I ever get that idea in my head? It's America again. It's in my blood, it's in my brain. How do I go on living with this disease?"
