I
guess I am not the only one that, sometimes, for no reason whatsoever,
and no provocation from any kind of reminder, an old memory, incident
or experience, would pop up and linger in your mind even for days,
absolutely refuse to return to that little corner of your brain where it
had been kept, and treasured, for years. This happens to me fairly
often and, not always the kind of memory I wish to relive. Except one
unique, never before nor since, experience.
Sometime
after a heart breaking personal tragedy, and in the midst of what
seemed like being half choked in deep and turbulent water, chance or
destiny sent me a special friend, who accompanied me and helped me in
every way he could to keep me afloat.
Our
relationship lasted exactly 6 months, not much, nor little; as the
matter of the heart is not measured by ready reckoner or rating scale
of time. Together we lived a period of Bohemia, between the hustle and
bustle of San Francisco streets and the beaches of Hawaii; totally
carefree, somewhat self indulgent and always full of music.
There
was no tearful good-bye, no promise of meeting again, no exchange of
addresses nor even phone numbers, and no photos. Exactly as the
conditions I laid forth and he agreed upon, before we set out for the
journey. As much as I had so enjoyed the adventure, I would not ever do
the same thing again. Or this special experience in my heart and in my
life would not be special, would it?
