Just got off the phone with my friend, Pat. Sometimes when I first hear his voice, I imagine spreading my fingers in front of a fire, just leaning in to the warmth in his syllables. "Hey, you," he says, or "Hi, friend" or "Hi, sweetie." I reminded him tonight of the British documentary that I talked him into going to that was so sad that at the the end as we were walking out, he said, "That was like going to a funeral." He laughed, a laugh I've known for five years yet it feels like forever. My therapist said to me once, "When you find your people, you just know."
About Me
- Naomi S
- A few things I know for sure. That revolving doors make me nervous. That, sometimes, it takes courage to do the simplest things. That the moment in a theatre before the stage lights come on is exquisite. That poetry is often "one short step to the good ground (May Swenson)." That I love swimming anywhere but especially in swimming pools.
