i spoke to an old friend via email yesterday

and the subject of my dad - was broached -

and ecouragement to reconnect -

i feel so weirded out by that -

as it seems - so contrary to what i have been saying to this person for the last year and half -

i feel like i ought not to be communicating

anyway - so weird -
 
Mark,

It sounds like your friend has simply missed something you were saying to him, or perhaps you misread what he was saying to you. That happens all the time, I think, and often it's difficult to read into an email text the tone and emphasis of what someone else is trying to say.

I would just try to remain confident in what you know to be true, Mark, unless you hear real arguments to the contrary. If someone says something to you that's erroneous, just let it go. Communication is how we test, refine and revise our own ideas, but information we get will not always be accurate or helpful. When an inaccurate opinion comes up we can simply set it aside; it doesn't need to threaten the whole idea of communication itself, does it?

Much love,
Larry
 
yeah - you're rigth larry

lately - i have been out of sync

stressed to the maxx

and now -

it seems i've really got to learn to keep peace within me -

it's really wild - but i am learning

i want to write about it

will do in a bit

m
 
it's definitely not easy -

dealing right now -

but I am - very well -

just i am learning -

that friends like her

would not do this -

but as well - i also understand her -

as she comes from a very earnest place -

and her reference is her family (a very nice one)

she loves her family very much -

they are great -

so - i think it would be kneejerk reaction from me too - to say -

don't you want to be with them -?
 
ugg i feel f-ed up -

or just clueless -

the thing that somehow

helps keep me feeling

on track is talking

talking talking -

kind of like my birds

who totally do a call and response to

each other - all day long

that's their dialogue

"peep" (hey) "peep" (hey back)
lol

Mark,

When we are on overload, for whatever reason, talking is often a great way to get things back on track. You have a lot on your mind lately, so an unexpected and disappointing turn in an email exchange may just have been the proverbial "last straw". It sounds like your friend is a good one and was just trying to help with a comment that would work for her, not realizing how little it would help you.

But of course maybe not. In that case, keep talking. ;)

Much love,
Larry

Hi Mark;

Coming here to this site I have found communication and the ability to voice all our thoughts, whatever they be to be so theraputic. I believe you find the same by the posts you have written. I hope things are going better for you.
 
thanks Eddie

They are going better and getting better - -

thanks for your very constant support.

I hope things are going better for you too.
