sad dream
first morning at harbin, last week, i woke up from a dream. cara was walking down a hallway, with a hat pulled down over her face, but i recognized her and went to her. alas, she didn't want to be recognized.

she wanted to get on with ... whatever it is dead people do. i was slowing her down, i guess, by having her always in my heart. by calling her name when i am troubled. she wanted me to let go.

so that's what i'm trying to do. cut the rope to that anchor.

i don't know what my life will be like without it.

Comments:
What a deeply sad and profound dream. I am thinking about you!
 
Ah, Jean, I'm sorry. Thinking of you--and happy I found your blogs.
 
thank you both.

it's clear that, left to my own devices, i was never going to let go. but if i'm told to go away, you can hardly see me for the dust. i just don't stay where my presence is not appreciated. celebrated, even.

a lot of habits of mind to undo. it'll take time, but at least my intention is clear.
 
Dear, dear Jean...I did read this a day or so after you posted. Went away speechless, still am really, except to say, damn it is hard letting go. It has been nine months for me, resolving estate on The Anniversary last week. It is all so weird. Thinking of you.
