Out, Out, Brief Candle: Leaving Here

[csecooney]

So, you go through your day - wake up, tea, breakfast, catch up with housemate who's been away 9 days, go babysit funny 1.5 year old of your acquaintance, have coffee with a friend, come home, eat dinner, more chatting, and then suddenly

"...maybe adventure just likes ME."
I think you hit upon the truth of it!

*hug* LOVE YOU!

[csecooney]

Oh, Nin.

[sevenravens]

Offering hugs and encouragement! Always!

[csecooney]

I know, darling. Thank you.

[csecooney]

Only I just felt so safe and happy for a while. And that was... very beautiful.

Possibly I will feel safe and happy again as soon as I wake up. Just need a moment of adjustment is all.

Change is always scary. I'm looking at some right now, too, so I totally get it. But I know you will land on your feet, my lovely. We should talk soon. Maybe next week?

I was serious about the come live here. I can talk to the wife, and 15 months is a looooooong time, and much can change. but we have a basement, see, and there is a bathroom all your own, and a door, and cats and turtles and an adorable small child. and we cook and drink tea and coffee.... and we like actors and writers. and Will Alexander and Haddayr and many other folks are here....

The Twin Cities?

It would be a big move.

But... I hear the arts scene in Minneapolis is pretty faboosh. I don't know how mobile I'd be. Car situation. All situations. But it is GOOD TO KNOW! I may sojourn your way - for many reasons. If not next year, then SOMETIME. Maybe a tour! Maybe a vacation.

I do tend to romp well with small children. Never really had to deal with turtles before...

Anyway. It is so GENEROUS of you. And such a relief. Like having a bright beacon in the west.

The cities! They are lovely! But I am biased. They are full of awesome people though, and a great arts scene and rivers and lakes and the best museum and and and.

[csecooney]

This is a FINE ENTHUSIASM!

I know it's not fair to the Twin Cities to try to keep you in this neck of the woods, but I do hope somehow we're able to.

Of course it's a dry-mouth-inducing moment of panic to realize that the situation as it is now will come to an end. But I know you're equal to the challenge ahead, and you'll get by with a little help from your friends. Which is to say, us.

[csecooney]

I think it will be ALL GOOD. 15 months is totally enough to figure this stuff out. I will have a better idea of what to expect after March 2014, I think.

Just had to have a moment of pre-grief, I think, so that the rest of the year will be CLEAR and full of ZOOM.

I don't think you'd want it for a long-term solution, but I have TWO guest rooms and a big house, even a dry basement to store things temporarily, so if you're between places and between big plans, remember that I'm here.

[csecooney]

Oh, Faye, how AMAZING! What a wonderful offer! Suddenly next year seems so bright with possibilities! I would love to speak to you more about this as the time comes closer. For now, THANK YOU!

[cucumberseed]

Be well and godspeed. Will help as I can.

[csecooney]

You help just by chiming in, Brother Chaos. Thank you kindly.
