“Hello Friend.”

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Hello.

Have you ever felt darkness? Felt it on your skin? Have you ever noticed how different it feels from light?

If light has an activity, a charge, a vibrational presence that tingles slightly, singes, but not in a painful way, in a taught way. A guitar string being pulled tight against the skin way, the feel of of it tense with the desire for release way. Then darkness is almost still, but not quite.

It’s activity is slower, passive, you feel it but in a completely different way. It’s soothing, loving, tender. It has a curiosity, a melting quality. It feels more alive in its slumber then light does in its rampage.

This is how all conversations should start, and this is a conversation, between me and you, each page of it.

So, tell me about yourself, explain yourself to me. Let me know you and I’ll do the same. We’ll share, you and I. And maybe lie a little, save ourselves our little truths, embellish the bigger ones.

I’ll try to be honest, and hope you will too, but let’s face the facts as we begin this. The truth is hard, we lie to spare ourselves from it.

I’ll leave you with this, and another “Hello. It’s nice to meet you. We’ll talk again soon.”
