today greg is here. magical to have a friend who has known me so well for so long now, what has it been- since junior year of high school- 11 years? he has been a wonderful, present friend to me through all the stuff. and he loves jenna. so good.
our second go round of being roomies, greg and i would sit around on the back sun porch, reading, listening to music, smoking and drinking. and he would cut jenna's hair. she was going through an asheville induced phase, short short hair. if memory serves, this hairstyle required nightly trimming, restyling, maintenance.
of course greg would swoop in on this weekend, the week after things have gotten long and hard and real. to free jenna of some of that pile of hair. to boost both of our spirits. to laugh that laugh.
i smile when i think about all of these amazing people that have been such great friends since that time, how we are all so close and supportive of eachother, even though we are living far away from eachother and don't get to spend near enough time together. how rare it is to have the kinds of connections that we have, having witnessed eachother becoming who we are going to be, who we are trying to be, and maintaining such respect and love. i get so lonely for you guys, wishing that we were in the same place, able to be living daily together, but it is so nice to know that you are all out there, spread out across the country- sending reiki from brooklyn, seeing jenna in the walla walla sunset, coming to me when i need you!
