What do you do when you want what can't be bought, rented, leased, lent, stolen, found or made but can only be given by a willing heart?

Where's the magic five point plan for that, O priests of self help, quick fix advisors, and back slapping coaches?

Come walk in my desert a few miles and tell me it's a lake.

Look for the one who's willing to give rather than pine for the one that isn't.

That skipping-stones piece you wrote the other day was wonderful. But I sometimes feel like you're transfixed by what a beautiful tragedy your life is.

That's just lovely.

Should I try to write poorly about my problems in order to satisfy your standards of literary authenticity?

What an asshole remark.

[flipzagging.livejournal.com]

Authenticity? No question about that. If I didn't know you, it would be different... it's that I'm also concerned with you as a person and not just a sometimes brilliant writer.

I read most everything you write and I find it disturbing that you muster the most rhetorical energy when constructing a prison for yourself. (And personally speaking... that's disturbingly familiar to me.)

I figure if we can put a skateboard on Mars we can find one intelligent, interesting and sensitive guy both interesting employment and loving companionship.

Since we seem to be sending even more stuff to Mars, can we make that two? :-)

Not to be glib, but that's a great summation of blogging.

I found that there is no plan. No quick fixes. Desperation though, is not attractive, but fled from.
