What is so beautiful is that you KNOW it is worth taking notes, and you DO take notes, and then you share it with us. <br />I think you are showing us a part of ourselves when you show yourself - like holding up a mirror in which we can recognize ourselves & each other. We are on different paths, but they are parallel & they run on the same globe. It's much less lonely with your writing here.

It's been years since I sat at that table helpless, embarrassed, immobilized beyond words and yet it's lasting toll is still felt to this day. <br /><br />I remember all the trips toward hope that always had equal parts of surrealism and absurdness. Trying to 'look' normal when the truth was anything but. <br />I only wish I had listened to your teacher and took the time to take some notes that in itself could have saved my soul. <br />I hug you and hold you close and tell you that we are all extras in your movie. Watching, supporting and listening and mostly understanding the workings of this unique world we live in. <br />I just know rest and peace will come.tsolomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078337854324863363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-23347968868127707142009-06-04T08:08:46.816-07:002009-06-04T08:08:46.816-07:00Hate taking her to restaurants?
