Linda Wrote Me
I heard from [Linda] today. Need I say more? Perhaps not. But I will; just a little anyhow. 
I didn’t think she’d write; but write she did, and that wave at the last party, again flung me up into new highs of joy. For a while, the party high I had in the first week of May all but disappeared. But it’s back again! Don’t you just love roller coasters? Up, then down, then back up again. Marvelous.
She read all my letters and likes them; she likes my “way with words” as she put it. :-)
She says that she’ll be at the next party in June. I had worried that she might not come since I had told her that I’d not come back until August. But now [Linda] knows better. I’ll be there in June, and so apparently, will she. Yes!
We’ve exchanged a few emails and she’s posted comments on this blog. We’re communicating now, and that’s a terrific thing.
You know what? I think I’ve found a new friend, and I’m eager to learn all about her over the months ahead. I learned today that she likes the gym, but not green tea so much. She enjoys pavilions and deep conversation, and her kids keep her quite busy. I told her that she inspired me and she said that she found our shared experience equally positive.
She was confused however, over how I could have become so smitten with her at the party since I talked so much about fixing things with [Emmy]. In a nutshell, I told her, I realized that though I still love [Emmy], that I was never really in love with [Emmy]. I need to feel that spark, that draw, that electricity in any relationship I’m in, temporary though it may be, lest I grow bored and want to leave. Indeed, when the electricity dissipates, I must soon thereafter go away as well.
But right now, there are many arcing, snapping, and crackling bolts throughout [Linda's] halo. So there will be plenty enough charge to last a mighty long time. This battery isn’t going dead anytime soon. Time will tell. But at the moment, I can’t see myself ever becoming bored with this remarkably beautiful woman. I so pray that it stays this way.
Stay tuned.
