Letter from a friend.....

I got this sometime around last year this time of year and it always stays with me....

let me give you a nickle's worth of free advice: don't hold onto things so fiercely. The secret to enjoying life is to be present while it is engaging you, not holding on with all your might to things and words that are flowing away from you. I know that sounds patronizing, but I see so much joy and beauty in you, and I think you see yourself as so inundated with suffering and ugliness. You need to learn to let go of that shit cynthia, before it destroys you, and the people you truly love. Be who you are, and the world will make a path for you, and those who refuse to accept that you will either come around, or recede from your life. You can do it cynthia, and I hope you find your way. >Be safe and well in all your journeys, and if and when you get back to the nyc, come find me. Your Friend,
E.W.
