Benzinha, I think I've considered everything once...
...or at least it feels that way. I don't really know how that effects him or us. I'm nocturnal, so I like the late night/wee hours chats. It won't be much of a consideration soon, as it's too expensive to talk from Iraq much and it's 11 hours ahead. Unfortunately, I think we'll just be able to talk when we can, like now, and see if we can sort out it out as we go. I will send this man any love sustaining thing that I can, and hopefully the pressure of this distance won't be too much.

Temple, have you considered the time zones of communnications and the
internal clocks in people? His day and night time is different from yours and so, your levels are diffferent as you communicate. He may spill early morning joy into your late night tiredness or you spill that joy into his day's tired ending. It may then seem to be miscommunication, when it is just time of day which separates your thinking.
Berry polish and kitty cats and sunsets on the beaches, I am jealous. My nails are sanded down to meet my fingertips, below that really, so as not to mar the clay faces of my people, with little nicks and cuts.....nothing but red clay in the cuticles. I scrub them with brushes for going outside the house into the public areas of my life, but they always fail the 'clean looking' test. And my hands are like rough sandpaper from all the washing and drying of them all day. I must do this about fifty times a day, to change tapes in the player as I listen to audio books, to answer the phone, to pop some snack into my mouth. Can only cream and Mary Kay, Satin Hands, them at night just beefore sleeping. Rough hands. I use smelly Bag Balm, too, etc. Gloves at night full of creams in winter, trying to get them not to crack. Poor old lady, me.
Advice here again, send him your joyous morning thinking thoughts......they are the love sustaining ones.

Anytime. I'm glad you liked it. Sorry it took me so long to do it. As summer comes up and events lead me to walk my beach in thought and search of solace, there will be more I'm sure.

The girl did have a good stroll, circumstances notwithstanding.
Spending all afternoon on the phone with you was brilliant. It's true that we live in cycles, and maybe that's why I'm such a water baby. This cycle scares me, boy. I'm glad we are taking it on together though. How does it feel to be out of the closet? (I know this answer from today, but wanted to ask again.) Sweet Billy, as usual, you know the perfect thing to say.

sounds like the girl (as your boy would say)
had quite a nice seaside stroll the other evening. We do live in cycles and the sea reminds us of that. I hope you've found a happy cycle Temple...a wave of deep happiness to ride that lasts a long long time. I miss Pacific sunsets...they truly are the eternal canvas.
