I hold our friendship very close. It continues to be a source of love, courage and strength in me. I understand looking for the other to see if the light is left 'online'. Let's not give up on these impulses, give up on these ways of connecting and being connected.
The last few weeks have been a bit dark in my heart. The black birds have returned again and sit above me on the wire. But I know the pattern, the cycle of life, death and resurrection and I know that they will take flight again. I just have to wait. I talked to Ted yesterday and that was wonderful. I can be led to a space with him where love feels more expansive than the constriction for a moment. It is good to be reminded today that Jesus' friends were locked into a small room in terror and that he "came and stood within their midst".
I miss you Pat, miss our lunches our runs our railing at the injustice of the world, the laughter we were able to find in our messy parenting and messy living. Know that I love you and in all the online 'near misses' that my hand is still extended to you, my heart still pointed west.
