Bizarre..? 15 9 11 (12) 25 1 23
Simply because although I had much to say to her
she never really said anything to me!
How is that possible you may ask and how could you
sustain such a bizarre relationship for so long..?
Well to begin with she had told me some things
during the two days we were together and in the two or three messages she wrote
to me on f-b before our correspondence came to an abrupt halt, maybe two weeks
after she had returned to Japan, and her correspondence with other people on
f-b, up until her return to Japan and total silence thereafter, served to fill
in many of the gaps in my knowledge.
So it was that I began to post the pics we had
discussed before her silence kicked in: at first just a few on the two Myspace
sites I used and which I never disclosed to anyone but Miss T, not right away
because I was in two minds about just letting the matter rest right there, and
then of course there is a waiting period before one decides no more messages
for me are to be forthcoming.
As a married man I reasoned that she had now
decided it inappropriate to continue a holiday relationship no matter how
tenuous whilst I had always made it quite clear my family was at the core of my
existence, living with my wife and visiting every now and then with our two sons
and their wives and families of two children each...
But finally I reasoned I could post the pics and
that that would be the end of the affair! And this came to pass on the 5th
January just as the sun's rising had begun to recede from its easternmost point
which coincides with its rising at the bottom of our east facing garden, a full
month after our last exchange of messages. It didn't take long for me to register
two lots of hits to Myspaces by way of feedback which of course delighted me no
end...
Naturally I had other visitors to Myspace and my
eldest son would chide me about how could I be so sure that the hits came from
a certain person and not from others? Well I was careful never to tell him
absolutely everything about it, but soon I was posting more pics and getting
more hits as feedback and little by little these activities became routine but
as result began to lose their appeal in so one-sided a relationship. There at
the activity may well have died a suitable death but for one circumstance which
was the advent of my experimenting with “blogging”. That is before Myspace was
eventually taken over by owners who decided blogging was to be discontinued as
a means to social networking…
My introducing the blog therefore saved our
relationship from almost certain doom and the reason I say so is because for a
time thereafter we conversed by blog: no matter what I wrote about for a time
would result in almost an immediate hit…And after a while the hits through a
change introduced by Myspace Admin people became specific for each blog so that
some of my blogs would meet with more approval than others and on occasion I
might indicate how many hits a blog should receive in order to convey one message
or another… These then may be regarded the halcyon days of our relationship,
long before I decided I needed to walk away…
If the reader wishes for perhaps one last sequel he
or she will know how to convey their message to me..? Have a good day everyone!
Today's pics are of our east facing garden in the depths of winter in January and then again in May when we get the daffodils further examples of non verbal communication nevertheless being at times most compelling...
