Brave Enough To Be Bliss

The next communication I had with John was on Saturday, Nov 19, 2022, at 9:20 p.m. I’ve been thinking about you. Wishing things were different and we could talk. It made me sad when you said you didn’t think you even wanted to trust anyone. That feels isolating and lonely to me. I assume it feels safe to you. I wish I felt safe to you. I wish you could talk to me for hours like you used to so I could understand. Or if you went back to your girlfriend, I hope you do talk to her like that, and I hope she listens intently. I hope you do learn to trust someone. That beautiful mind and heart of yours deserves to be shared.

I don’t know for sure, but maybe you have to learn to trust yourself first.

Last night I drank fireball for the first time since the shots at your house that amazing night I will never forget. I remembered how it felt when I trusted you to hold me when I let go of your neck, allowed myself to fall back and you spun me around. It was scary at first and then the most freeing and exhilarating experience of my life. The key in trusting you to hold me was first trusting myself with the decision to let go and fall back.

I hope you decide to let go and fall back even if only figuratively. I am so grateful you gave me that experience literally and figuratively. You are a trustworthy human.

Brilliant Message by Fernando Pessoa not Pope Francis - Universe of Faith

“Communication is not connection. Technology allows for communication, not connection. Technology satisfies the data part of my brain: the who, what, when, where, and how. It doesn’t allow the part of my brain and body that registers connection to be fully seen and experienced. Technology leaves me over-informed and under- experienced.” John Delony
