Longing and Disappointment

STARLAMALLOY ’S JOURNAL

D, there are Rumors that you are Free of Me. I am Happy for you. I want you to be Free. But. Know this: Freedom has its Price.

A Heart that Beat for you,

Still Beats with Love

Without You.

The poem doesn’t rhyme, and yet it retains the distinct Starla quality of being terrible.

I log off and pick up Sister Soledad’s note.

From: [email protected]

Dear Irene,

I’m sorry not to have written you back promptly, but I’ve been a bit down in the dumps. Recently I have learned that Sister Maria Martinez has requested to be reassigned to Sisters of Saint Luciana, a convent right outside Lima, Peru. She has family there, and she leaves in less than two weeks.

It is impossible to think about this house without Sister Maria inside it. She is the heart and soul and life of the Holy Trinity. She brightens up every room she’s in.

Don’t be too upset with Whitney’s presumably perfect days at tennis camp, or Britta’s summer in Texas. And don’t be upset that you are resentful. Envy is, alas, a natural condition. I am recommending Tender Is the Night as a story about people who on the surface seem to have everything. It also has those inimitable Jazz Age hairstyles.

Fondly,

Sister Soledad
