Hi Lieve thank you for the letter and I really do think you make a pretty valid point about the whole thing of T M D.
Nearer the point (maybe) about how grief affects people is to be found in WHAT DREAMS MAY COME... Its a very wierd sort of film and makes the point in the end that they can all only be happy because they are all dead and living in a picture world! But it still does not deal with the "how you deal with it..." I do so totally understand the > "I'm sure most of us have gone through that more than once, >and there was a time when I really did not know how to let go - in fact, I >did not want to let go, because I felt that would be a betrayal of the love, >of everything I had felt before, and so like a true artist, I felt I kept >suffering for my art, for my pure raw emotions. I kept the wound fresh, >scratched off the scab, let it bleed for years... I now look back and >wonder why I allowed anything, anybody to take such a large part of my life >away. " Oh boy do I recognise that......I write poetry and short stories (am girding myself for rejection time again!!!..any one know an agent? ) and find the best flow of words is when either in love or bereft... How come my muse is absent except at times of emotional flux? NOW...if I could only find a muse as reliable as the Parking God..... Have to go wine and a friend are calling.... Just finished playing.... "DONT FORGET ME" from By the way by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.... Yessssss Light and life to all Lucy
