No Reason to be Nervous

My morning was pleasant and filled with the sensual elements that make all of my outings with Gordon wonderful, even if they are mundane. It was something of a prosaic day going to church (but sitting close to him, I felt quickened, like mercury), then going to the Bookthing, eating pastries and coffee, and ending with a trip to his art studio.

Sadly, it was during our time at the free bookstore that I received a call via his cell phone from Sarah, telling me that her grandmother had passed early that morning.

The services will be held on Friday and Saturday, so I will be in PA with my dear friend, hopefully offering some comfort to her during her time of inconsolable grief.
