Wednesday, December 11th, 1985

As the song says,
“Now it begins, those needles and pins”.

Monday, when I left Lise, it was hard, but necessary.
Tuesday, I could still taste the tenderness of parting.
Wednesday, …
comes the emptiness and waiting
for this hole in my heart to fill.

The beingness of things
just seems to hiss around me now
like a radio left between stations…
Godot … I’m waiting for Godot.

I can feel the hours go run
and I know more day by day
that she won’t call.

It’s still beyond me to understand
how a woman who was in love with me
could turn away
so suddenly.

So many things each day I’d like to tell her
but she’s … she’s not there
and I don’t think
she’s coming again.

                          Hi sweetie,
                 It was really nice to hear from you - It
         surprised me.  I had been wondering about you;  how
         you're managing, how everything is going, how things
         are at work, at home in Irvine, at Rose's, with Kathy
         etc ...  But I was waiting for you to give me the green
         light.  You have to do things your way. You're the one
         who sets the pace now as far as you and I stand.  I
         hope for friendship one day in the future.  in the
         meantime, I know it's rough for you.  Things could be
         worse you know.  I hope each day finds you a little
         stronger.  I hope you will meet a wonderful woman who
         will be ready for you, because by then you'll be ready
         too.  I hope a lot for you, babe.  And I hope you'll
         keep in touch when you feel like it, when it's right
         for you.  Hope to hear from you.  I'll write.
                                       Love,
                                          Lise
