The strongest man in the world...

...knows his strength and stays within it. The foolish man overestimates his strength, and then wonders why he falls apart.

I feel pretty foolish right now.

I need a hug.

Sorry, that was a bit cryptic wasnt it. Basically, I had a great time in TeAroha, loved seeing Mo and Saffy and (briefly) zombie Rick (he was zoned out on migraine drugs, poor bugger), but for some silly reason I thought I would be ok as I left to come home. I wasnt. Driving out of the town I know so well, knowing that things have changed and that its not my 'home' any more, brought all the sadness back. Sadness I thought I had dealt with weeks ago. I miss the boys. I still love them. I'm still mourning for the dreams that have died. But its ok- this is the way things will be for a while, and theyll get better. They *are* getting better.
Thankyou for all the hugs and thoughts, I had urgent phonecalls last night instructing me to come round to a friend's place, where I had hugs and pizza and a great deal of love. And this morning a concerned message from Mo, making sure I was ok. :-)

And how does the strong man know his strength?
By breaching the boundaries 'till they become clear, or the boundaries fall away.

C'mere, let me wrap you up in a warm one...
*HHHUUUGGG!*

Yeah, what Beast said! And of course you both know you have an infinite supply of bearhugs straight to you from our household.

You're right, as always. You always seem to consider your responses, rather than just responding with your first reaction. You're a rare and wonderful man, and your insightful comments always bring me back to reality. Thank you, Beast. I fully intend to meet you in person someday, I just hope you're ready for the huge hug you're going to get.

You are not foolish, you are just not happy at the moment. You have a hug from me on comand. I would hug you until you begged ne to stop. Hugs matey

Strength is nothing without sensitivity and empathy. You're not lacking in any of the three.

And anyway, I've just heard that "foolish" is the new "wise"
*hugs*

You know, the cryptic part of your post really made me think about some of the things I've been going through. Thanks for that.

I hope you're doing better. *HUGS* It's always nice to know you have mates around to help.

Good luck mate.

Can I hug you even though I just wet my pants?

Re: pace change

[growler-south.livejournal.com]

Of course. Though, for future reference, I'd be happier if you wet your pants *while* hugging me, rather than beforehand.

:-)

Was good to hear your voice on the phone today, sexy...
