2001-08-05 - 11:46 p.m. I'm so openI don't sleep most nights, "I'm So Open," Cowboy Junkies I love that I can say anything. I love that I don't have to hold back for fear of saying the wrong thing too soon. I love that I do not have to fear what she thinks because I know what she thinks � she tells me as much as I tell her. I love that I can now go back to my Northeast Odyssey entries and add to the site the passages that heretofore were only included in the hard copy, the leather-bound journal that accompanied me on the trip. I came to a subtle but important realization last weekend. It wasn't something I needed to discover but I'm glad I did, because it's just another thing that tells me this is right. Back on July 27th and 28th, my friend Michelle from Notre Dame came to visit. Originally from Chicago, she's down in D.C. now, taking a year-long grad course at Maryland. I had the biggest crush on Michelle in school. She's a close friend, and we have a lot in common, and for a time I'm sure I was in love with her. I wanted "Say Goodbye" to be about us. But last weekend, I looked at Michelle and saw a friend. I hugged her and felt a friend. Michelle's in D.C. My love is in Chicago.
