How does it feel?
Really hard to describe ---
What will you do on Friday?
The day will be weird and I don't know what to do ---
What have you been thinking about?
I'd love to elaborate, but feel overwhelmed & constricted ---
What are your plans?
Gratefully, they aren't just my plans anymore ---
Where have you been?
That's hard to explain and would take far too many words than my sparse
style allows for --
When did you know?
When they all talked about their long marriages and ------
Why did it bother you so much?
Now, that's a hard one - really no clue - it came out of the blue ----
How have you changed in the past 39 years?
Unbelievably, impossible to describe -- - really, it'd take
far too many words ----
Where's the silence gone?
Not far at all, accessible really, it's me who has gone ---
Do you think you'll come back to the silence?
Well, there's no choice - I have to - it's my lifeblood ----
What does God think of all this stuff in your head, in your heart?
God wonders when I'm going to sit down in silence to pray ----
Why are you finally writing tonight?
Because I have to -- I have to remember who I am -- I have to connect --
What's kept you away?
Worries about raising someone's ire, fear of speaking my heart ----
Has that really kept you quiet in the past?
The past has never been the present so I don't know -----
What will you do on Thursday?
Give thanks at a new table with new family ---
What will you do on Friday?
Give thanks for Rod and the life we shared: Bless it, let it go ----
What will you do on Saturday?
Happily help George with the green egg and ham.
Do you have more clarity after this little chat?
Actually, I do. Thanks for taking the time to ask me all these things --
Do you have anything to add?
I do --- I've found since my last post that true love can hold the most
painful things this world throws at us. If I wanted to use more words
I'd write about that. Again, thanks for asking.
You're welcome.
