Only, only... real relationships, communities etcetera, are not so much forged by the values we shared going in, or our successes or failure but the struggles we share in between...

First let me...This is a brilliant piece of writing. First let me say that.<br /><br />Now - the way trusims and ordinary expressions and cliches are turned around to work differently here is used (consciously or not) as a parallel match for ordinary lives turned extraordinary by the discovery of relationship. Diverse emotions seem to be treated in the same way, but they are not. Read it again. There are subtle rises and falls. This same pairing of emotion and language has been used by great writers such as Andre Dubus and Raymond Carver... and they too would envy this ability to handle raw emotion with raw words.<br /><br />Amazingly well handled.

It's when I first saw your brilliant dark light shine. <br /><br />Having read more of your work, I think (perhaps I'm wrong but, I think I do) I know who you're conjuring up. I'll say again that I'm glad you made it through your own journey & I'm sorry for the loss you are experiencing bit by bit. Sometimes the most searing, tumultuous of life changing, loving relationships don't come into our lives through romance, do they? Though I do thank God for romance (!) and for the salve-like properties when it's at its best. <br /><br />Dan, you said a thousand things in this.<br />JoJo-Anne (jtvancouver)http://www.goingforcoffee.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128469884487763839.post-6556997200430305542012-03-02T17:49:15.495-08:002012-03-02T17:49:15.495-08:00Fine.
