TALKING TO THE DEAD
After a number of years of years, I called a childhood friend and he was speechless and overwhelmed .when he answered. Why? In his mind, I had died and then resurrected. After that miracle,I called him. No. I wanted to tell him about another who died and was not known too many well wishers. At the time of the call, I had to tell him that our friend had died under complicated circumstances..
There was an announcement on the internet that my website socialvibes.net / had died and was replaced with 56thst.com/ He only read IN AN INSTANT that I died when it was my old site that did the dying. Shocked, he read too much in too little amount of time.. . So I had to calm him down by announcing that yes I was old and beat up inside, I was alive and well. My friend had gone through the numerous stages of grief and now I call him and I am back. There was a long silenc.e. We then did conventional “shock talk.”
Now I don’t want to take a path into pathology or theology. We both got through the chaos. We gained enough sensibility to trade new technological internet numbers and wish each other well.
If you are out there, this might make a good story for some social platform. Thanks for listening. I did have a Near Death once.. Does that count? At any rate, I believe that I am alive and grateful that he was sad to see me leave the planet ..Except I did not do that..
