Have You Been Double Crossed Today?

Zen and the gift of friendship

A dear friend asked if I was happy or sad.

Sad, I said.

In the last year I had lost family.
I had lost the friendship of some I had allowed to become important to me
I had lost everything I own, over and, over and, over and, over again
I had been betrayed, and betrayal is a wound which cuts deep, precisely, and ever so deeply

Gone.
Everything gone.

What’s left when everything is gone?

Love.
It’s all that matters in the end.

Okay,
Father Luke

I missed you. January totally wrecked me and February doesn’t look good either, but at least you are back. I was laid off from that job. It was no fun working with those heartless batards anyway. I just wish that I could find another one.

Love,

A.

The year 2006 was one of the best years of my life; On the eve of that year I met you and then immediately lost you. I’m happy that I found you and can enjoy your writing once again. Always, Hags
