Of all the tricks of memory, the cruelest Is accuracy. ~ Geoffrey Brock, The Orpheus Variations memory instructs me in the ways of pain asks of me do you remember when he called you mi corazon said you are… love do you remember when he asked are you magic or a shaman memory demands of me you must think of the way his feet look naked vulnerable how his mouth tastes when he has finished smoking the look of his chest thumping heart beats the smell of his head you must remember how he always said I love you more ‘cause I am bigger only love can warm and baby … we are stellar then you must remember this he is gone |

They say that every cell of our body holds our memorys... A positive attitude goes a long way toward making good memorys... For example a failed relationship is not a disaster, it is a learning experience...and perhaps we will fare better the next time if we learn some important lessons...James |

Yes, I too, have memories. ~ But for my own peace of mind, I keep only the good ones. However, there are times, by doing so, it only makes me miss him more. Your ink is always so tender and honeysuckle sweet ~ and is such a pleasure to read. Hugs with love, LA |

Those last lines are so accurate... for those are the memories that sneak up on you and kick sand in the teeth of all the happy ones. Beautiful, touching write!! |

What we remember seems even more priceless when a loved one is gone, for it keeps their love near us. I am sorry for the heartache. |
