With some friends on Fire Island. It’s cold and the season is over so there is no one here. Fire's burning. We're drinking red wine. I put on one of your CDs. All of a sudden, silence. Everyone stops talking. It's not the first time this has happened. Something about your music. They listen to one song, then another. Transported. Each one to a different place, a different memory. This goes for a while. Then, someone at the table wants to know. Who made you this mixed CD? And so I tell them about a boy I met at a cemetery. Who took me to a beach once and under the moonlight played me a song about two people who together forget the world. And you can tell by the look in their eyes that they are overwhelmed by the story. The romance of it all. It's a love letter this CD, they say. Then they ask that question. The one I know would make you smile if you were here.
You know, it always shits me to stumble across a blog that reads as well as yours, only to spend a couple of days reading the whole thing and then realising that it's gone quiet.
Thanks for sharing what you did, but BLAST it if I'm not annoyed that you're not posting anymore.

I seriously doubt that this relationship really reflects the nature of love. While it is possible that these two have a connection that defies the body, how can they integrate their love and combine their energies as those in love can as they have the polarity of gender to magnetically bond them.

Well, I certainly hope this means you are back. Your post makes me totally want to be on Fire Island right now. Damn, I would even be happy at East Hampton or Shelter Island. I need lobster soooo badly.

this is to the Shades of Gray fans: Do you guys think Ethan is ever comin back? Is it time to give up ? :(
Posted by: Calvin | December 22, 2009 at 12:04 AM
I miss your clarity, Ethan...
Though much of what you said didn't relate directly to my life, the way you chronicled your own feelings and relatioships taught me so much of how people feel and live nowadays. Not of how they did in the 50's (for what I thank Camus); but for how a present day gay man sees himself and others surrounding.
Anyways, sorry for not being too clear about what I had to say... It's not my talent anyway. It's yours; come back for fuck sake!
