I'll be a hug whore for you,
I'll let you put those warm arms around me
Tighten your body close to mine,
Until there is no difference.

There is an aching in my back,
That can only be cured by your touch
There are fears that could be pounded out of me
By the beating of your heart.

Hold me then in that place,
Where all is safe and warm,
Where we are least alone,
Tell me without words, s'right.

I was outside this evening, eating some chicken concoction and tequlia concotion. Looking up at the hazy blur of the moon and I thought: My gifts are intangible, and will not survive me or thoe one I give them to.

And thats okay.

That is very profound Tru.

I believe though that our gifts are passed on and on, and on..................

Then we need to realize how rich we are.

It is OK, but I don't think that's how it's going to be.  I think I know how you're feeling.  Sometimes I feel invisible too - like I have to do or say something to prove I am corporeal.  Or insignificant in the larger universe.

The word intangible means that something is incapable of being perceived, especially by the sense of touch...I looked it up to be sure.  I don't think I am the first person to use this wording, so forgive me, whoever I'm plagiarizing, please.  But tonight, reading the poem you wrote about my Mamie and us...it was a true gift.  You held my heart in your strong, capable hand for a while, then gave it back to me, a little bit better for your loving touch.  You Heard me.  You couldn't have shown that you really Heard me any louder if you'd put it on a marquis!  I know you know how rare it is to be Heard.  Thank you.  I only hope I can be as good a Friend for you...I strive to be that.

In another Lifetime, your gifts will survive you because of every heart you've touched.  In the same way I know about Jeb and Dash and Curt because of you, you have achieved immortality.

I met a man today and we talked in the hotel bar.  I'm not going to say much about him - that's for him to do.  I invited him here and I believe he'll come.  My point, though, is that in the course of our conversation, I told him about Brokeback Mountain, realized he'd understood it in the same way we have (how RARE is that?!).  And I told him about the poem you wrote for the Unknown Man.  He didn't know about the Unknown Man before.  But I bet he mentions it to someone he treasures.  He wore a gold ring on his left hand.  And so on the cycle goes.

                                                  Question

          There are people like Truman, Scott, Chuck, Milli, Leslie, David, Cameron, Louise, Jack,Lee, Jack 1 and others, in this pllace. That have gifts, they are the type, to survive them....But then, there are others like myself
and some others here that have no discernable talent..They are just....around.  What survives of that.?
Are we here just to curry favor, and tell the gifted ones that they are great?   This is a question of which I have often  pondered these many years...Or what then is a gift, and how do we recognize it..?
