It's going to be hard not seeing you frequently
after such beautiful times together. Just you and me
on those free days when we both can share so much
joy and good banter. It's o.k. to have different views
and not to agree on everything. Also appreciated are
those caring health comments, your more ingrained
conscious awareness of keeping a good attitude
and practice! However it's true that having personal
freedom is, at this stage in life, essential. Again you
are more in tune with handling freedom in a very
admirable way. I have a lot to learn in this respect,
but, as a friend, I value freedom just as much.
Having met you has changed my usual daily lifestyle.
Now I want to go out more and enjoy the fresh air,
the sunshine, the wind and even those days when
the weather is less clement. Not to mention those
social outings to Italian clubs where we can dance
and be with other friends and acquaintances. Now
at my desk writing these lines in between my usual
commitments with books, culture, education
and entertainment, I am more aware that I too could
pursue other interests. However I value what I do
and feel happy in doing so! Somebody told me once,
'Tom, don't you know? Life is a balancing act!" So true:
in this case too! Without taking away the fact that right
now I am missing your company... can't help myself!
