"My dearest bard,

I feel so privileged to be allowed a glimpse of your soul. Thank you so much for sending your journal. Yes, I would very much like to continue receiving daily entries. I feel like you are showing me a secret part of yourself, a part reserved only for those you hold dear. Thank you, dear bard for trusting me.

Rox, you have asked so many valid questions in your note ... you have the mind of a philosopher, and the soul of an Angel. I wish I had answers for you, but I don't. Why DO people need contact? I don't know. I suppose we need contact to measure our impact on others. Maybe even to validate our own self worth ... you know, the more people we physically touch, and the more people we have who voluntarily touch us, the higher our sense of worth. That's one possible theory. I think we draw comfort from touching ... we seek refuge in it. That's why we need contact even more when we are ill. We all want to be taken care of in one respect or another. Too many of us are the caretakers, never receiving anything in return... yes, even something simple as a touch to reward our efforts ... a kiss, a hug, a simple hand cupping your cheek. That type of touch validates us ... tells us that the world is a better place with us in it. I don't know, Rox. These are only my thoughts ... not based on fact ... nor on strong psychological doctrine ... just my thoughts.

I am glad to see that you are making progress on your new book. I'm afraid the cast on your hand will hinder your success ... unless you can get some help. Nikki seemed to do a very good job typing for you last night ... maybe she would be willing to help?

Rox, like Nikki, I too am worried about your relationship with Chris. I want so badly to rescue you from such brutality. Say the word, Rox, and I will be on the next flight to Maine. Please feel free to call my home whenever you need me. I have already given you the number, but here it is again ... 408-555-1080. My pager number is 408-555-0046. Please don't let Chris hurt you again, Rox ... please call me, and I will do whatever is in my power to stop it. Nikki has the right to be worried about you. What if Chris does return, Rox? What then? I am so glad Nikki and Jerri are staying with you. They sound like wonderful friends.

My bard, I feel a closeness to you I never thought I would feel again after Patti died. In the three years since her death, I have held a small sliver of my heart in reserve ... saving it only for Patti's memory. I find you invading that sliver, as you have invaded the rest of my heart. I can't stop thinking of you, Rox.
