Coach:
Whatever you are about, cease and desist. This site needs your care, attention, and your personal involvement, here and now. My
Classmates expect your personal attention. You have created here an environment of trust and caring, and I am not willing to lose it. Are
you? We, unfortunately, have expectations of you and silence isn’t one of them, not quite yet. Abandonment, as a thought comes to
mind, so does alienation as feelings go around this space. Pay attention to the words and the spaces between; for God’s sake: Take care
of my classmates and be loving and loved while doing so.
Have I tugged on your heart strings yet?
Should you still be obsessing on a reply to my postings, let it be. I know the seduction of obsessing and other sirens as well. I am not
exactly innocent. And unless you can tell me something I don’t already know, save your breath.
Love and caring
Douglas
