I have had one of those new life affirming convos with a friend of mine. We were chatting online at one the webs many ill-reputed gay dating brothels masquerading as chat forums. As such, we both, silently, acknowledge that to have the converstions we do with each other on a regular basis are rare in and of themselves let alone in the aforementioned arena. We bantored merrily and with that weight of word only one congnisant of the responsibility tied to diction and syntax carries in tone and tempo. As always, I felt at ease and as I later explained to him, I felt obliged to maintan a level of candor that is of the highest level and imbued richly with respect and openness required to achieve the desired end. Solice. Comprehension. Rapport. At one point or another, in one of his many ridiculously enlightened quips resolving some conundrum of mine, I realized it would behoove me to keep such a person close and active in my life if for nothing more than a paradigm from which to compare and contrast my own. So, I told him. Succinctly and without the normal fears of bearing emotion that usually hinder my words. It went,
"i want to hear from you more often. anytime you feel like making the drive down i would love to see you . you are a singular soul among the sullen slaves and i love the way you shine"
I know this may seem a little verbose or over the top, but tose of you who know me know that this is how i really think. The way I perceive and report of the world. All that withstanding, I did not expect to get hte reastion I did. I mean I know that good deeds provoke good ends. It would be fable to proclaim a selfless act of this event. I wanted him, above all, to take with him the invite and the knowledge that I respect him enough to say those things exactly as I feel them. Assigning more proof to the theorum behing the Random Acts of Kindness, you truly never know how much good you do until you do just a little good. His response went,
"Damn Loui, thats probably (no definately) the nicest thing I have ever heard on this fucked up site - i mean it adn I know you are well aware of the darkness that abounds. I mean at my best moments I do feel enlightened, at my worst not so observant - but to know someone who can see others auras - well damn bud, what a joy. I have always relied on my intuition - thank you for confirming the good vibe from you bud - it really does a soul good to connect and know that there are others who "feel the wave, see the light" whatever you want to attach to it out there - and more importantly, they are available for mutual healing, celebration, etc hey even if i don't hook up tonight - i'll have a smile on my face and a glow from my innernmost self its a deal and you my friend magnify the light around you - thanks for being that beacon SERIOUSLY, I NEEDED THAT - THANK YOU"
Now, jumpin' Jesus on a PogoStick! That is a nice thing to say about someone, huh?
