I haven't felt like listening to the decemberists for about a year and a half now. Listening to the song Crane Wife, I am suddenly reflective and sentimental. Reminder: Learn how to play John Lennon's Imagine on the keyboard. Also, I really ought to book tickets for a concert this fall. Let's see... nine inch nails anyone?
So what do you say to someone who feels a gaping whole in their heart and soul? To someone who cannot be reconciled with her own mortality? To someone whose body is ailing and in near perpetual pain? To someone very smart who cannot make up her mind? To someone whose world is so considerably shrunken that her sphere of interest barely extends past the person she's talking to? I find that my advice for her is useless. She seems to latch onto people who pay lots of attention to her, but conversation with her is often one-sided. She expects answers not discussion. When it comes to this I ought to be forward with her; I do not have the answers she's looking for.
