as my life undergoes upheaval and i rapidly approach the onset of major transitions, i find myself at times, and often miserably, wholly concerned with the details of my past; i am speaking in particular about the outrageously unjust and senseless death of my best friend, arthur, over six years ago, which had, until recently, receded to the ( Read more... )

i could go on... revenant_ December 26 2009, 09:07:19 UTC

i love you! i want to give you a great big hug. this is a good reminder. you know, i used to give people gifts because i couldn't find the right words to express how much i cared for them. i still do it, to a certain extent. we all do, i guess? i mean, look at christmas...but these words are SO IMPORTANT. we need to tell one another how much we matter. i think i am going to write a few letters ASAP with this reflection in mind. it is that horrifying "...while you're still sure they can hear you." oh. oh. how painful is the temporal ( ... )

EEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you catie! you know, i always felt as though our friendship was prevented from fully flowering by distance and other such things, but at the same time i have always considered myself to be in very close proximity to you-- spiritually, mentally, emotionally... your heart is tender and open like mine is, you are filled with compassion and empathy, you choose to trust and have faith even though past betrayals and traumas would certainly justify the opposite. the way our insecurities led us to don protective shells consisting of makeup, hairdye, and clashing clothes; our sudden hysterias; our emotional honesty... our love of love! and how we derive such joy from taking care of other people, often to the detriment of our own well-being.

plus your squeaky laugh is just darling!

i, too, hope one day we live closer together-- oh, the possibilities!!!

anyways, hope to see you today or tomorrow!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo

I saw you today at the bike shop, and I waved to Danny through the window but you were focused elsewhere. Lady, you're lovely and deserve everything good in life. And the crappy things/thoughts/people just add some salt and worldliness to a wonderfully rich existence.
