An intense volley of email messages over the past week reinforces my sense that one of my good friends and I are the tristful duo among the more well-balanced, positive and healthy folks on the planet.
May 17: detoxify
Ironically, my travel to a work meeting today led to the opportunity to detoxify for a while: driving with the windows down, eating my lunch outdoors, and singing along with a CD--until the music brought me back to the melancholy to which I referred, above.
All I really want to do is lie on my back in the dark and look out the open window at the stars. Even if it doesn't help me figure it all out, it seems to make some of it less complicated.
[the title quotation is Jane Sigaloff, in Lost & Found, and reads in its entirety: “She wanted to punish him for leaving .... For giving up. And yet here, now, ...years later, she still wanted him not to have left. It had been far easier to pretend that he didn’t exist.”]
