Time and Place

My new life started January 12th. Having thrust myself into a foreign land with nothing but a few sets of clothes, a laptop, and a few pictures of loved ones, I started a new life. In training, I found a few other people in the same bizarre situation: in the absence of any good reason not to, we became friends immediately, right down to the crying on one’s shoulder, lending each tons of money, and seeing each other naked.

Ironically, our becoming friends in no time feels as if we have been friends throughout all time. Between us, there is nothing but love, caring, and presence.

That is the world we lived in.

That is the world that was proved to be illusory today. Unfortunately, Rico, your presence which seems to has been since forever has come to an end today, to our despair. Its like the unimaginable has happened and we don’t know what to do.

I’ll miss you and can’t wait to see you. And when I do, you had better watch yourself!
