Ray:
This is a great thread Celeste. I'm very much enjoying every post. I agree with Chanteraise and the gold fish in the bag for Elle. PML at

One thing that's occurred to me is that I don't think I could have come as far as I have without being able to talk to all you folks, and the "remoteness" has actually worked in my favour because I could always turn the computer off - not that I did of course, just stuck to the quieter forums. So be gentle with me as I pick out a comfy chair in the Chez Tremblay forum and start to work on some of these issues.

Oh Chris - do pull up a chair and set a spell, and visit with us until we run out of words, and then we'll sit, each rocking in our own chairs, chewing on a piece of hay, enjoying the companionable silence.

Elle wins some CT award for this one for sure. Do you hear it in your head every time you read it? Too funny.

Thanks Celeste for starting the thread, Elle and Chant and Barb in particular for posts that really did it for me.
Ah, it does feel good to talk about this and I must say, what a gift to have many voices ringing in.
I must say, I'm detaching a bit from the wall of Brokeback Mountain. Maybe I'm shifting down, gettin' ready to be born. If you've noticed, I haven't been around that much, not more than a post or two a day. I'm a little galled not to be even a Brokeback Resident when in fact Brokeback Got Me Good, but I've been pouring energy into other things, and I'm not unhappy about that at all -- I've been exercising, finishing a demo CD, working on some crafty things that I'm totally in love with, working on the house with my husband, learning fun, difficult music. I'm HAPPY. This is cool. I'm not saying that sadness breeds Brokeback love or vice-versa (although it's possible), but I'm focused on myself. I still haven't watched my DVD.
I'm not getting kicked out of the treehouse, am I? The fact that on some levels I'm putting Brokeback away makes it no less special to me... I
feel no less tenderness toward the first guy I ever loved just because I'm not in love with him anymore. Now we're good friends. (He's gay.)
What really feels fresh to me here, still, is discussions of layers of meaning. Another thing I've been doing is reading, something I got very lazy about for awhile, which Brokeback reawoke. In all I read (and in all movies I see), I'm looking for a connection that approaches the one I had with Brokeback. I don't tend to get it, but it's as if I know what I'm looking for now. Right now I'm reading the Forsyte Saga -- how un-Brokeback. But I'm hoping, looking, waiting, to be moved.

I've certainly noticed, but that seems as it should - that we take all this back into our daily lives and plant the seeds and watch them grow there.
There's no getting 'kicked-out', no how, no way. ;)
