Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 Rhoda Reporter, Thank you for the kind words. I shall try to be bright. My counselors tell me it's ok to feel the pain and go through it. I have only them here it seems, two friends, both counselors, who can never really be your friends by law and practice, which I honor. I have you, this list, which is you. Thank you for listening, friend. I'm trying to start other new local frienships which are real and not addictive, not codependent. I'm saying goodbye to alot of pains, one at a time. I had to give my dad a few days. That brought up a few days worth of my raves. The underlying actual motivations for all my raves have been father, family, irish, hare krishna, addiction, sorrow, and so on. There's a few dead friends I have to spend some time with, listen to, understand, cry with. Alot of old ground denied to revisit and honor, in order to move on. As I go along, one pain at a time, I'm saying goodbye. I won't stay in pain, it's part of the clearing process. But yes, onto happier tones and hues. I have my red ball clown nose on. There's a small tear, and a big smile. Thank you for being there for me. After a bunch of goodbyes, theres a journey, full of thought and memories, then soon there is a new time, full of hellos, new acquaintances and opportunities. That's how journeys go. goodbye are we there yet? \o/ | / \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first saw it, it made me think of the Burning Man festival that is held in the Nevada desert every year. Like your goodbyes, it started when I guy in SF wanted to rid himself of all the bad things in his life, so he build a 10 ft wooden "man" surrounded it with all sorts of material stuff he no longer wanted, and set it on fire in Golden Gate Park. It became popular over the years and became a magnet for all sorts of "weird" (read: interesting) people to come together and celebrate life. I think the Burning Man is now a 50 ft structure and when burning at night creates a marvellous bonfire. I saw a documentary on it, and thought it was pretty cool.
