A very interesting question posed: why bash all jocks? Why lump everyone together? And yet Watson may be looking for a way to dissociate himself from jockdom to keep his new friend. His singing skills won’t do that...
Your letter makes me grieve for all the stolen things, for all the spirit and life gone. Your words make me want find a walk or sponsor someone who can do it if I cannot. But most of all, it makes me want to offer strength and love to you, and to those I know who are affected by this thief.
Marcus has a story that is far too familiar. But then to fall in with Jacob when he’s at the end of the tether, that’s both beautiful and miraculous. Merry Christmas.
The probing continues, and as correspondents do, they respond and later amplify. Sherlock and Watson seem to be learning many superficial things about one another. What will impel them to learn more?
You are developing their epistolary relationship nicely. Such writing is hard to carry off, yet it sounds natural to the readers ear. Or to mine, anyway.
I read each poem and hold a piece of you. I absorb each sentence, and yearn to ease your hurt. You ask questions I cannot answer with words, but only with light and love and my deepest hugs.
It has taken weeks and weeks of being with Tony to build Geoff up, to make him feel worthy and capable. It his mother sixty seconds to tear him down again. Yet she is the most likely to come to tears at the end, when she realizes that Tony will help Geoff to heal, but none will be there for her. And honestly, that would serve her right.
Hey, thanks for updating this old math teacher on your week at college. Your work in Calc 2 made me smile, especially. I shall continue to think on you and your studies in the days ahead.
Now there is so much to ponder about Kevin. He wants men he cannot have. Becker gave only a portion of himself, and no more. Duncan is unwilling, though his resistance is crumbling. Yet even if Kevin manages an affair with Duncan, it cannot but end in heartbreak. Great reading.
Kevin’s head is in a million places, and not surprisingly. Becker was beautiful to him, but could not, would not dive deeper with him. Will Duncan and Sebastien help Kevin with his inner torments and his memories? Great chapter.
Killian just stirred the pot. The Ever After Chaos gang has nothing on high school dynamics. All that tension and emotional energy could be harnessed to patch up that failing wall...and it would last forever. Great chapter!
And now Chad has Ryan, someone to share kick-ass superheroism with. And did I detect a flicker of something else? Naaah. Way to trash a B&N, by the way. Excellent chapter.
This poem is quite powerful and thought provoking.
These lines:
But who is to say that the butterfly is superior to the moth
Denying the break is to deny the transformation
To stop healing
To stop learning
made me re-read, rethink and ponder. One cannot deny brokenness without denying the power and change in healing. While this speaks of hurt and shattered hearts, it also tells me of a stubborn kind of hope.
Thank you you for sharing this.
