Dusting off words…
Yes, I have been lazy in my blogging. Yes, I have sinned. Should I therefore be damned and stoned to death like a cheap Biblical character, or would my readership — if there is still one — be understanding enough to forgive me? I cannot blame them, abandonment is a serious issue…and I know about that.
I have been unfaithful to you, blog reader, having inadvertently channeled my thoughts and inspiration through the conservative land of emails to a loved one.
Yes, she is loved. I am in love, strange as it seems for me, who never saw any of the matters of the heart without a touch of pragmatism, because it is safer, because nothing escapes the mind. And now she feels real, and she does not. Our communication depends on logistics that exceed us, on papers that might or might not be granted, on labs that might give disturbing news. There is so much around us that could change us, so much. And yet, there is this feeling that dominates, a blind tyrannic ruler standing above everything, making us selves and making us whole. Only that feeling makes it worthwhile…the sound of her voice at the other end of the line, crisp after her morning run, or slow and husky at the end of a long workday, the words she writes so timidly and so openly, the fears that neither voices because we just know.
Yes, that is it. Sometimes there is no need to explain love. You just know.
Bueno, el abandono fue por una excelente causa, así que no habrá lapidación alguna. ¿Quién no ha hecho algo parecido alguna vez en su vida por el amor?
Mis más sinceras felicitaciones y que todo siga viento en popa!
Beso
Thank you, dear Erica, for understanding…yes, indeed. Love comes in different shades, but each one of them is pleasing, even if it involves some form of sacrifice.
Regards,

Te propuse humildísimamente para un premio. Te espera en mi blog.
Woolfian,
With great pleasure I’ve read most of your posts. It’s amazing how written images flow within my eyes… Thanks for sharing.

Miss F,
My reply, as it is the case in these complicated times, arrives late…better than never. I am really deeply grateful to you for having bestowed the award on me and I promise to behave as a true recipient of this honor. Thank you again, immensely.

Ceteris Paribus,
It is always a welcome surprise to find another reader making the rounds of my random (and sometimes not so random) thoughts. You are, of course, welcome to visit any time, and I hope you do not take offense in the fact that my reply really arrived very late by blog standards. I hope you will forgive me.
Thank you for your kind words and for dropping by. I really appreciate it.
Warm regards
W.
