I am stuck on your first story - Ene...Hello Chris, <br />I am stuck on your first story - Energy of the Universe. In particular, I'm stuck on your final line and its my favorite. "Fourteen years later and he is still out there on the edge of reality where you can see the powers of the universe flow…a place where the human mind is too small to handle safely." <br />But... before I go forward. and read your next story, I want to know more about that line. I also don't want to let it go yet. You see, I'm sipping my morning coffee with images of the homeless - thinking about frailties.... I love when writing makes me think. "where the human mind is too small to handle safely" ....that line has gone past my lips but it just sits there, at the back of my throat. after a few more moments I cry, just a bit. sip some more coffee, wait. wait.... mental illness, addiction, diseases of the brain..."..too small to handle safely" .... the acid too so long to wear off because you feel things deeper than most do. the highs and the lows. and it takes you longer to get out of because you're lower. it takes you longer to get down because you're higher. (still sipping, no more tears) My son was homeless for a stretch of time. Most of the time, his pain was hidden on the inside. when it wasn't he would separate himself from us. he didn't want to disappoint us. finally, when his pain got too deep, to hard to handle, he left for good. "It's just the drugs" is that what saved you? Or is that just what kept you alive for one more day.Green Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427381976705069464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-49183382152947303872012-04-04T17:57:36.526-04:002012-04-04T17:57:36.526-04:00Thank you, Marie. :}Thank you, Marie. :}Nadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-54269799939954780642012-04-04T17:56:54.397-04:002012-04-04T17:56:54.397-04:00Thanks for stopping by, Jayrod.

I thought the second one more so..isnt' that funny? The first one conjured a reflective, contemplative vibe for me. Sort of an unacknowledged 'thank-you' to G-d for having returned from that 'edge-of-reality'. I will think about this piece when I see a dirt-stained begger; it reached inside me - where my heart is. Maybe because I knew someone who never quite returned.Nadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-11503708440155794092012-04-04T10:52:25.124-04:002012-04-04T10:52:25.124-04:00The interview was wonderful but both pieces were j...The interview was wonderful but both pieces were just, I don't know.
