3-Memories (gardens/beach)

Memories (gardens/beach)
joy of loving, of being loved, tell me you love me, remember this, was it as real for her, no detail memories of last “perfect” time, her memories

the surprised grief of Thomas Hardy
the love ideas of HG Wells Anatomy of Frustration
pens
letters/man who wrote letters

Come calm my grieving heart

You filled my heart with wonder
You gave me love

Again I can not respond

Then
When the day-sun was warm
And the night-star bright
And we lay together in the night
I never asked what worried you
Or why, but thought that I could calm
Your mind with just my hands
Her words

I love you Christopher,
remember this
when you doubt me,
when you have fear,
when you think this separation is unbearable,
when you don't understand anymore.

Drukpa Kunley

'The virgin finds pleasure in her rising desire,
The young tiger finds pleasure in his consummation,
The old man finds pleasure in his fertile memory:
