- XIV
by A.E. Housman
There pass the careless people
That call their souls their own:
Here by the road I loiter,
How idle and alone.
Ah, past the plunge of plummet,
In seas I cannot sound,
My heart and soul and senses,
World without end, are drowned.
His folly has not fellow
Beneath the blue of day
That gives to man or woman
His heart and soul away.
There flowers no balm to sain him
From east of earth to west
That's lost for everlasting
The heart out of his breast.
Here by the labouring highway
With empty hands I stroll:
Sea-deep, till doomsday morning,
Lie lost my heart and soul.

Hiya Tj,
I hope you are doing o.k? I am so sorry about you're friends mom. It isn't remotely selfish to feel it more towards yourself than in regards to the person who had the loss. Loss, unto itself makes people think about their own situations. You have no idea how I understand that. And I hope your home situation will get better soon. Independence -as each person feels it- is so damn, hell, I can't find the word. It's so personal, and it's so important. And even though, I doubt any of us thinks better or worse of you for your living situation -I understand how it feels to You. So I hope that, at the very least, You feel better with that. No matter what comes.
I am sorry I didn't say something sooner about your friend, but death scares me. And it too makes me think ill of myself. I think it just has that way of waking you up and shaking your mind into another more aggressive thought process. So please forgive me, for not coming sooner. I have been avoiding saying anything about it. Sometimes words of sympathy come so easy, and sometimes -not remotely. So I am very sorry Tj. And I do hope you are feeling better (as with your friend) soon.
I wanted to say thank you, also for the link! I am balled over with that one. I can't believe it!! I do appreciate the effort! (and as I Still can't do the linky thing, I am Doubly Impressed and appreciative!) ;p Anyway, I hope you are good Tj. I am so sorry for not coming sooner. I just, hell, I wanted to have something better, more to offer you as comfort -and pitifully, nothing came. So I am sorry. I hope you didn't think I don't care. I do. I hope things get better sooner than expected.
Love to you Tj -loves l/d
Hiya Tj!
Thank ya for the email -I got it, it's a bloody miracle! ;p I was gonna come by and leave a 'link' thank you... but I am (well, cross you're fingers!) moving this weekend! So I have had no time to practice! And I don't want to sully someones blog to do so!! ha!! I will have to make one momentarily to perfect the art -then come by and show off for ya!!
;D
I am going to think on the best 'option to link' in gratitude for you! It is very important you know! It will be my First Official Link!!
I hope you are doing better Tj? I will email you as soon as I can. I won't have phone/net for a while (I feel ill already..) as we will be getting in and getting settled. But wow, after all this effort, I think I shall leave all my crap packed up -Just in case! I don't want to work so hard again for a long time!! ;p
I do hope you are well Tj, or will be soon. Try to think of loss as a reminder to Live More. For you and for her. -Love to you, <3l/d
Thank you so much TJ, timezones are a bugger. I miss our daft chats (wasabi). Thanks again sweetie.
"it's not important."
Is too.
Be well, both of you.
*Gives biggest, squeeziest hugs to TJ for comfort*
Please don't let the anons get to you.
I hope your sister is getting better. Please let me know, I'll be on at Mayo's, but email if you feel more comfortable.
Hey, TJ, how are you today. I hope your sister is feeling better. Don't let the anons rattle you. I know I lose it sometimes with them, so I'm a fine one to talk, but I am going to try really hard not to address them or let them bother me. You do the same. What you have to say IS important, and the vultures seem to prey on people when they are at their weakest.
Take care and have a great weekend.
Love,
L.
It's Me
Toujours -- Seems maybe you got stuck in Kentucky for a reason. We usually do not know what life has in mind for us...we just have to roll with it.
I am sure all will be OK with your sister.....she is in good hands.
You have had to step up and take on a very important roll. I am sure your family is greatful that you have decided to be the "messenger". It is important....to everyone.
Now would be the time to really do some self reflecting and be very honest with yourself. You are a strong person....you just might not know that about yourself.
