mostly i am baffled. aside from the shock i dont feel like she is gone, see?.  when you let people in, even for a moment, they become a part of the structure of your life whether you like it or not. they are the subtle building blocks that make us us.  we often imagine that it is only us that makes us who we are. some solo project that people can share in or visit or participate in the building but never stay.  its that goddam feeling of separation that fools us into thinking we are not utterly entwined with each other for ever and ever, amen.  but as i begin to loose people near to me, i find when i look that there is no vacancy, really….  my heart is large enough to house everyone i love comfortably and with class. it is VAST and roomy with a southerly view of mountains and has jacuzzis and everything. you’ll love it, i’ll send you a brochure…… i will never see her again.  she is gone from this realm, i know but…she still lives in all of us that knew her. she is everywhere, isnt she…. good night Brianna, i love you and i’ll see you on the flip. xox, L
