The Buddha sings in my ear— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
and I smile at purposes I can respect
and enjoy.
What can I offer Rose of this, my life?
That she could accompany music she cannot hear?
And wait on challenges she could never anticipate
for the sake of the love of someone
who loves with only half his heart?
I would say to her, “Love me, but ask nothing of me.”
Share my time, the eating of my bread,
the aging of my wine, the passing of my years.
But leave me my inner smiles, my dreams.
That I hear my own music, however out of step
it may be to anyone else’s.
I am willing to give a lifetime commitment to love
if it asks nothing of me but what I would give.
That the changing aspects of my attention should not
be mistaken for the lessening of my regard, I would hope.

...You are
the only person
in the world -
without any
exception -
to whom I can
tell all that
my heart
contains.

Thoughts of you are exploding in my mind. How I
enjoy being with you!
Thanks for being my dinner companion last night
and ALWAYS my friend.
Look forward to next week.
Love,
Kathy

Thursday, December 27th, 1979 Dear Dennis,
Thanks for the XMAS card -- I was
flattered! I send you one but it was
returned to me ??? I guess the postman
couldn't read my writing (so I typed this
time).
I do hope your christmas was beautiful
and that this 1980 will be what you want!
I'm planning to go away (Carmel area)
for the weekend. I managed to get air time
switched to Sat. So I'll have Sun, Mon, and
Tues. off -- its been over two months now
that I've worked weekends. I'm feeling a
wreck ! ha.
Love, Kathy
