Hi Slowly! I was wondering where you were this week.
I agree with Sage that one slip won't cause but a moment's ruffle. But if I recall correctly, you've wanted to talk more with NG about things and not just sweep it all under the rug. Could you use this 'ruffle' to open up such a conversation?
I think these things come flying out of our mouths at times because we cannot keep stuffing things inside with no outlet. As we start on our lives here on the Board we learn the invaluable qualities of duct tape, of thinking before we speak, of listening and timing. But at some point, and I think even more so in Piecing, the need to talk openly and intimately is important in repairing the hole that was created within the R. Would it be possible to tell NG you're sorry for the 'outburst' and realize that you have a need sometimes to talk about things that are on your mind?
It seems to me that NG has never really wanted to talk much about that time, and that you would like to. You've been great at marching to his rhythm, but sometimes I think you should get a chance at picking the pace . . .
Just a thought... Hugs, -H2H
PS: I'll be over on your side of the world next week - just passing through London on my way to Cambridge for a few days.
