Wow. With every word, I felt, "Get away!" "Come closer!" I'm exhausted. Thank you.

It's exhausting. You're welcome.

Isn't it funny how we end... or start! still the wind cries.

Tommy Swerdlow's avatar

Yeah Carl. And it cries Mary if you're Jimi H

I just think it’s a sad thing to make and break. Ben married a little over three years and found out last year she has Alzheimer’s and our situation is which ever way the wind blows. I just happen to think the disease may be related to trauma that the brain tries to rewire around. Yeah, I used to like Hendrix/Purple haze.

I believe trying to rewire around trauma can cause anything and everything. Sorry, brother. Sounds challenging to say the least.

Beautiful phrase. Thank you.

Jewels of feeling possibly best left in the sands of time, but some more of the riches we're blessed to have been here to touch...

You were in a fated dance that will always leave you hungry. Many get addicted to the drama of the push/pull.

Tommy Swerdlow's avatar

I get addicted to all kinds of things. Luckily they are all thing I can then write about.

I misread this initially as “I’m having crazy thoughts about California again” and then proceeded to read the whole thing thinking it was a kind of panegyric/lament for a place. Works both ways.

Tommy Swerdlow's avatar

I like California better, especially wearing stockings.

Finally, I am in the shadow of the great bug eyed knower and articulater supreme. That made me laugh, Swerdlow.

Exhausting. But worth another (!) try? Crazy can be good.

Tommy Swerdlow's avatar

was 8 years ago. Another try not gonna do it, but I like your style. Crazy can be good for some things
