Perspective.

This email, from a spiritual mentor says it all:

Have been following your adventures.
Still adventure, but of a different flavor than you had
planned, isn't it?

This is good. Really good because it calls upon you
to love and accept yourself even more. You will probably
be teeter-tottering for a while. The mind will rationalize
sometimes and sometimes sink into gloom and do all of its
usual tricks. You'll have a chance to create more intimacy
with yourself, which was the idea in the first place.

All is well...I'm in Tennessee visiting friends and chilling out a bit. I'm planning a little adventure to Savannah for a few days and then back to Boston at the end of the month. I'll be in touch soon!

Thanks for the space and encouragement!

With love,
Eric

Eric,

I do not know what to say other than that I have failed you in not keeping up with you like I had intended. If things had gone the way I planned, I would have written here EVERY day, and would have emailed you at least as often. As you may have gotten my email, health wise things here are very bad (not trying to one-up you, just the truth), and I have been eating all the chocolate in the world.

I love you very much, and understand your need for some time to think. I am here if you need someone to scream with or at, or for ANYTHING!!!

Remember, my exit is right on your way home; stop if you get the chance or the want to.

Hugs and Kisses,
Tracey

Eric,

My prayers, positive thoughts and energy be with you...

Still it is good....sometimes we set out to discover what we WANT to or what we THINK that we will find and in the end- what we find is the TRUTH....only those with the courage of heart even try. Your trail although brief seems profound. I encourage you to listen to what you have already learned about self. I do however wonder- if at your end- was there a new beginning???? Reminds me of the story of Moses in the Bible where he wandered in the desert for days and it wasn't until he was at his end- the end of physical strength or what he thought was his end- that GOD revealed himself to him- at the end of human strength I think we find who we really are... however not many of us (including myself) choose to seek this path.

Still I wish you the best- in this respect- you're a better man than most- personally I would not have made it past the first day when you had to set up camp in a downpour. You should write more- you really are a great writer and tend to express some far reaching concepts. Take care stay well and talk more to you later.

Blessings

We hiked in silence. We drove to the hike in silence. There was a moment when I thought reaching out to you would bring us closer together.  And then there was her. There was the her from the iPhone that got in the way.  The her that made me think, what the fuck are you even about.  You actually follow Kylie Jenner on Twitter... holy shit where did you come from?   That repelled me... the final thing that made me judge that pushed me away from you.  The thing that tossed me into another place and made the silence begin. I simply couldn't figure out how to get out of the silence.  I couldn't figure out how to crawl out of the hole.  I would make a comment.  You would make a comment.  But nothing.  It's as if the final strand was broken.  It was as if the final tenuous delicate little tie that held us together broke.  We shouldn't have gone hiking. I know you hated it.  You wanted me to believe that you liked the outdo...

you came in and you ran out and i wanted to say hello and you were gone and then you were back and you were smiling and we were talking (breath) and we were talking about important things and we were talking about things that made me cry (breath) and we were looking for colin and we were walking around the room and we were talking about life and you were speaking to a part of me that hadn't been spoken to in years (breath) and we were talking and finally in the thump, thump, thump of the room you asked if i wanted to get out of there and we were leaving and we were walking out the door together and we were standing in the parking lot and we were talking and you put your head on my shoulder and i grasped the back of your neck and my heart melted and my knees got weak (breath) and we were talking and we were talking about important things and we decided to go back to my place and we talked and laughed and talked and laughed and looked into each others eyes and were respectful of the ...

again and again and again...

the cycle is so present... always present... whether in my written notes or my online blog there is me getting excited about something, getting lost in the pursuit and then musing about it and stating that I've learned something only to repeat it... why? I'm hear again, well, sorta... my friend Mike said to me today, if you would only make a decision to settle on something. You have amazing energy and talent but you just need to settle on something. I am simply not sure what that is... still... not sure of so many things. I'm enjoying life though... have a great job... have nice friends... maybe i just have inflated expectations about what life is suppossed to be? maybe I just want too much? not sure... just saying. life is good.
