Muertos

[catelin]

I seem very ghost-like to myself these days, in this place. So much movement and stillness going on in my life at once that finding the words to communicate my insides puts me off even trying most days. I read about you, but there have been weeks when I haven't even bothered with that. I feel guilty even admitting it, as it is not a matter of waning interest so much as a lack of time and energy. I'm making a long journey these last few months that I cannot share...at least not now. But I am here with this feeble whisper to ask you not to forget me, to please not confuse my silence with a lack of feeling or care, and to believe that I will be back soon.

I was just thinking about you the other day. I'm happy to see you here again. :) *hug*

How could we forget you? Life does this sometimes, catches us up in its arms and whisks us far away from the rest of the stories we are following and cheering on. I'll be happy to read whatever you write, whenever you write it.

of course we'll be here...that's what friends are for--online or otherwise. I wish you strength and insight on your journey and we'll see you when you get to the other side....

You have a space in my head and heart, and when you're silent, I wait.

It's always ok to take a break and be silent. We'll be here when you come back! Sending warm hugs your way....and like someone else said... 'We'll leave the light on for ya!'

You are not forgotten. I've been thinking and wondering how you are, so even the feeble whispers are most welcome here. The connections remain. Be well.

[fireangel-999.livejournal.com]

You still have me. :-) Whenever you are ready.

I miss your writing madame, but I understand the need to withdraw from time to time. Be well and know you have a mess of us out here that think of you. :)

Good luck on your journey and know that you are never alone.

Wishing you the best.

Gosh you write so well.

[doctorgogol.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes--I know what it feels like to be the ghost of myself.

You showed up in my dreams recently, looking radiant.

[iamkatia.livejournal.com]

you will never leave my list. you... never.

[wretchmuffin.livejournal.com]

Sometimes you need to sleep.
I knew you were always here.

[ex-muzer409.livejournal.com]

So very, very, very beautifully put. I recognize myself a bit, ghost-like too. I was thinking today of a vow of silence, this coming year (they go by so fast now).

No worries. Very, very, very best wishes!

[mystic-tera.livejournal.com]

I look forward to hearing from you.

Anyone who knows from saudade is worth waiting for, in my book. So there.

Hello you. I was thinking of you just the other day, then I had to have a cold shower.

It’s a weird place this and I think I feel the same way about it as you do, some of the time at least. I read something and think that I have something to say in response but keep quiet, not because I don’t care but perhaps because it implies that I have something more to give, that I am firing up a conversation when, in truth, I have nothing more to give than some throwaway words or ‘keep your chin up’.

I used to do so much more but feel somewhat hollow recently. Regardless, I won’t be forgetting you any time soon.

Come back re-energized again sweets, I wish you well.

[lithflower.livejournal.com]

I don;t think I have even spoken (or typed) to you, but you touch me, I love reading your journal. And I too wait to hear about the lext leg of your journey. You are an amazing person.

Just saw this book (http://www.amazon.com/Mommy-Has-Tattoo-Phil-Padwe/dp/0977023273) and thought of you.

[wisteria.livejournal.com]

I was listening to Landslide by Stevie Nicks, and you came to mind.

Just thought I'd let you know.....

Love, Deb

i keep finding myself not even being able to say something quick like "cat must have my tongue again" or something. got my heart broken just a few days ago, unbelievable how willing the thing was after some appropriate-seeming amount of fighting it off. that's not even the part that's taking so much of me though; i wanna think that affected the other, but maybe it'll turn out to be the other way around and boys really do suck and now the work will run smoothly again. in a couple of years i'd like to have a child with a turkey baster.

how in thw world would i ever forget you? i wish for the same.
