waiting for nane to come back from another x-ray [i’m in her hospital room – situation moderate] i thought i’d jot down things i thought about after your nice piece [posted a while ago i know] but i remember it..

loosing someone is so raw yet can be surreal, knowing the feeling of connection that may have been there is from now on undoable
it was almost uncomfortable to remember that i’ve seen that husband ? in another version of fate, the unsure friend, nameless emotions yet there’s a positive theme in your thoughtfulness toward the family so i imagined the collage was a pale light behind the 7 figures of grief
the interpretation of the museum piece, understandable, is kind and as a topic i’ve heard it taken too far – feigning in sudden sureness, heavy handed hope, philosophies, athiesm, eternal question the piece escaped that, i think people listen to a pastor with personal ears, we come with our own level of fath, intuition, openess or ideals, i’ve been to a funeral where a family listened to their avid pastor out of sheer politeness, he was high, they couldn’t relate
i like for someone, anyone earnest, to say in a way that my loved one’s being recieved by love, you know when the time counts- for their sake not mine and i don’t place alot of importance on it when it is said, it’s just a matter of respect, between not being able to name what i believe in and another believing in something too much, maybe there’s something worth believing in that’s holy and beautiful….i don’t see how god can be seperated blah blah from an atom or the minutest blah particle if you weren’t everything/life-death? how else could you be all seing, but a 10 yr old told me that hendrix’s “everything is everything” is a cop out thing to say, sure as hell don’t get how some emergency reception staff give negativity to helpless, concerned people, like, what’s the point?
anyways these thoughts came and left
