One day more than two weeks before T returns and yesterday I thought I couldn’t take another day. The good news is that we are readjusting this summer’s schedule – no four week periods – they are just too long – so they will be cut down to two week separations. It’s hard on her to travel this much – but it is harder not to. I’m going to quit pouting and rejoice that I have found the love of my life and that very soon our love will expand exponentially.
Enough of this gnashing of teeth and “couldn’t take another day”already. Remember the “no tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests” of Valediction, the idea of breach as expansion? Mr. Donne would be disappointed, I believe.
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched” says Helen Keller – “They must be felt with the heart.” The love sustains me – the missing makes me gnash my teeth – consider me flawed that I cannot endure even a small separation from Tatjana – but I have come to the conclusion I CANT.
But you are….
well there’s that
