madmen I have binged on the series. it has filled two weeks of all my television time. now I am bereft to no longer have these people to visit. I know this is old hat for most of y'all. but these are my new friends and they all just left town....forever. and I never got to kick Pete in the nuts. when a good show goes away.....and this was a really good show.....I hated everybody almost as much as I yearned to fix them. and so right on the times. the times I lived through. well, when it goes away, it's like losing friends. that's when you know they did a damn fine job. this week....a very fine man, a man I have known since I was 14, is also leaving. he sits in a chair and looks out a window at the birds on the feeders in his yard. if you sit with him he will smile at you, let you wipe the drool from his lips without comment or aggravation. his hands move constantly in a sort of nimble dance through the air as though he is conducting the energy or the light. he concentrates: his hands twist, turn, sweep. there are no words or sounds. his face is still and his body is nearly rigid. inside, there is something though....his hands so elegantly state that. it is what I watch while I sit with him. his hand song. his coda. how I wish I could hear it. You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

I believe it is a very good thing that you are able to sit with him. We may never know what reality he is participating in, or the effect that your presence may have, but I suspect it is a good thing. Difficult no doubt, but good.

We've been self aware for so long and we still know so little about one another. It seems he's communicated something to you though even without speaking. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

good shows come and go, but friendships last a long time

Dr. Green on E.R, Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street, Mad Men ending, MASH ending, the episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard lives an entire life only to wake from a dream...These television events leave a residue, just as good books do. Friends leaving, deeper feelings but they still leave something behind in all of us.

Having been there with a friend this past fall, I know both how hard it is and how beautiful. Here's to all of us having friends to sit with us through the end...it's the purest form of love I know. Big hugs. xoxo Always tell the truth Use kind words Keep your promises Giggle and laugh Be positive Love one another Always be grateful Forgiveness is mandatory Try new things Say please and thank you Say your prayers Smile ~Author unknown
