L'aura del campo


'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos'
♣ Federico García Lorca ♣


Higgins Street Bridge, April 25th  2009, Missoula, Montana


L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me.

Are we all toxic?

I know at least three friends who may consider themselves so.

One can't keep friends. One can't make friends. One can't befriend himself.

All have been abused; all have been traumatized.

I know that people have cut me out of their lives. I have not always been as kind as I should be. But knowing how even an apology can bruise... I let the past be past. I let it be.

Not everyone is toxic though.

There seem to be genuinely good people out there who heal rather than harm. They are a true blessing as well as truly blessed.

Although I have been traumatized I don't know how to help friends to work through their own traumas. I'm not even sure what to say at times. Mostly I just acknowledge that I have read what they've shared and say nothing. I suspect most of the time they are not looking for advice.

And what advice can someone who hasn't been through similar pain give?

I'd give each a hug if I could.
