It's surprising how little pain is left. Now I just shake my head and ask myself why I wouldn't give up on a man who didn't want to be with me. I should have given up. But I guess we were both courageous in our separate ways. Him for pulling the plug and me for insisting that things might turn around tomorrow or next week or next year.
I don't want to be negative in any way tonight. I don't want to utter a single syllable of sarcasm. I hope that no vein of sadness or anger opens up and spills forth tears or venom. I'm trying not to have a plan, to not rehearse what I want to say. I want to stay open, moment by moment listening and thinking and responding. As the day counts down, I'm visualizing a door flung open, upturned palms, a rose showing its insides.

what's happened? I've read your post too late and couldn't send good wishes. So I'm sending them NOW, wherever you are, hoping for the best. Which also entails enough money.
