wednesday of waning 24th sept.
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 02:58PM like i said, "i will get through this with music. opening wide to absorb every drop the Muse and the goddess pour out on me." I am doubly thankful for losing the music two years ago. the abasement, the absence; they are now the catalyst for joy.
Maybe Sparrow
Maybe sparrow you should wait
The hawks alight till morning
You'll never pass beyond the gate
If you don't hear my warning
Notes are hung so effortless
With the rise and fall of sparrow's breast
It's a drowning dive and back to the chorus
La di da di da di da
La di da di da di da ~ Neko Case
This has been a very difficult week or two. All possessions firmly in storage.
The final decision/telling made on divorce, the "WHEN" is now becoming reality. Of course my mind was made up! How do you manage to think that somehow it happened after i moved into my mansion on wheels? WHEN? Indeed! immediate acquiesence is your response to wife's "Mind Made UP". Do NOT make me wait until December 31.
His final fury? "Mighty sick of everyone telling me what to do." (meaning me, meaning a lot of things) Cannot be easy taking down your son's loft bed, so he can live with your oldest son. Do you see the necessity? As i did?
Took furniture and love gifts to my eldest son and my g'dau and spent the night listening to the trains and the traffic in my dreams.
Oh, my Liam! We talked today, a blissful 24 hours with my youngest. Watching him walk down the halls of Meany MS, he is no longer slumping, head tucked into his chest. He has guard boot shoes on, all black clothing and a lovely smile on a taller, thinner frame.
We found an easier place this time. Easier to talk to each other, easier to be in each other's shade. Easier to motivate him with the truth of divorce and moving on with our lives. What does that look like, exactly? For each separate entity of the family?
For Eli, it is the lack of order and the truth of living with his dad as a roomate, not a son to a dad.
For Liam it is the lack of routine, no tv, no place of his own, nothing familiar. He is sacrificing.
The only one not sacrificing here is dad, i fear. losing his comforts is his only real suffering. maybe losing love, but he has never acknowledged it so where would it go?
And i knew this would happen. in some dire foretelling or another.
yes, i can crawl to the stereo and turn it up while i am losing my mind, dissolved in pain and a puddle of tears.
luvYa
