return of the cliff runner
7/28/2004 8:12:19 AM


I've spent too long avoiding stimuli that might reopen old wounds. Wounds need to bleed to cleanse themselves...and certainly it helps me, emotionally and from the writing perspective, to be in touch with the pain...

So, this morning I went to a restaurant I had not been to in over a quarter century. Nancy (the 1st, the Electric Lady, Psyche) and I used to go there. She was once almost run down by a car in the parking lot. It's actually across the street from the intersection where my brother Robert's fiance died.

Rouch. Very rough. Like jacking into a wall socket. A 220 volt wall socket. I wept, I trembled. I laughed.

And, the cliffs are once again my home...

Next up...there are a few people I have not spoken to in decades...they should expect a phone call.
