WOW.. second... i am loving that book that you gave me, and i think you knew i would..because it's so familiar to me, her writing style... i could see myself penning those very words.. it really reminded me of things that i used to see lots, but the novelty of the beauty of them wore off a bit.. that's terrible..so with that said, i had the most awesome SEEING day yesterday.. i'll write you about it soon.. man, it was cool.. but yeah, piano is going good..very interesting and happy and stressful and frustrating and enlightening.. i have your visuals+poetry installments all over the cork board over my desk..lol.. and lastly, on the topic of familiarity, strange, but i cant identify myself with that adjective or state of being, at this point in my life, hardly.. everything is so new and different, but the sanity remains in spite of it, because somehow things dont phase(sp?) me much, like i have often said.. but okay, just writing this, i realize i have so much to tell you, i'll just go pick up a pen and paper right now, and get off this computer... i love you, beth. and i thank God for making a person with the combination of qualities that compose a Beth Malena...<BR/>til next time, bye-bye from:<BR/>sophiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9784578.post-1157905430113373602006-09-10T09:23:00.000-07:002006-09-10T09:23:00.000-07:00Beth, you are such a loving person, I could never ...Beth, you are such a loving person, I could never see you letting go of so many wonderful people. And I don't suggest it. When you let go of a home you don't miss it any less. It changes and you disconnect from its present, but you long all the more for its past. You don't stop loving, but what you love is, in fact, lost because you are no longer connected to what now exists. <BR/>I have never tried to keep two homes, so I can't tell you which lifestyle is more painful, hanging on or letting go. But I will say that every time I see pictures, or here stories of people from my first home, part of me hurts a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9784578.post-1157869261134924452006-09-09T23:21:00.000-07:002006-09-09T23:21:00.000-07:00i miss you i love you, you will always be at home ...i miss you i love you, you will always be at home in my heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9784578.post-1157837671170484202006-09-09T14:34:00.000-07:002006-09-09T14:34:00.000-07:00Beth,I love reading your blog for many reasons, bu...Beth,<BR/>I love reading your blog for many reasons, but one of them is that you seem to find beautiful, poetic ways to express what you are thinking and feeling; and often these thoughts and feelings are parallel to mine...it's sometimes weird.<BR/>Thanks for another great blog and for again putting some of my thoughts into words (and I totally agree with the flying thing).<BR/>-AlexaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9784578.post-1157832024752863102006-09-09T13:00:00.000-07:002006-09-09T13:00:00.000-07:00I have three or four homes.

Some of them are less home now than they once were, but I have often had two at once, and sometimes three. <BR/><BR/>Calgary. Camp. Seattle. Leysin (Switzerland). Vancouver. <BR/><BR/>And I would not be surprised if I ended up adding at least one more spot to the list.<BR/><BR/>Also, even though we may appear to be just the same as when you left us...we may have changed too...in fact, I'm pretty sure we did. :) So we ALL have catching up to do. With ourselves as well as with each other. <BR/><BR/>Should be fun - and adventurous!ajthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145905319722163833noreply@blogger.com
