    i thought i wouldn't
    i didn't want to
    i do trust her.

    my stomach has clenched.
    i heard his voice.
    maybe it would have
    been better if i hadn't.

    but i did
    and now i think of him
    in her bed
    holding her.
    i want
    to.

    this is the
    situation.

    but i trust her.
    and i am forcing
    my body to
    realize
    what
    my
    mind has realized.

    i trust her
    goddamnit
    i fucking trust her
    and i will
    listen to
    myself.

    and my arms
    shake
    and the knot
    in my gut
    wants to
    tear me to
    pieces.

    and my vision
    has narrowed
    and
    i can't
    focus.

    and i am
    telling myself
    that everything
    is fine. because
    i trust her.

    I TRUST HER I TRUST HER.

    and it creeps up
    on me. the old
    fry.

    the old friend
    turned nemisis.

    it creeps up on me
    whenever i am
    tired or hungry or

    stressed

    when the focus leaves
    and it creeps up on me.

    when the focus leaves
    and it creeps into me.
    tangles my eyes
    the clouds form

    the focus leaves.

    but it's ok.
    this is me.

    this is not her
    and this is not Reality.

    this is me
    jealousy is my own.

    i can beat
    it into
    the ground
    with wooden
    shovels and
    the headstones
    of past
    trips.

    i can
    beat it
    into the
    ground
    with faith
    and trust
    and knowledge
    of this Soul perfection
    for whom the Universe
    has Willed.

    Willed as
    i have been
    Willed.

    upon my
    Path.

    walking in
    my direction
    at my speed

    and not him.

    he is not there.

    i am.

    I AM.

    I AM THERE.

    and there is
    NOTHING
    a physical
    body
    can
    do
    to CHANGE
    this.

    NOTHING.



    i trust her.


    and soon
    this will be
    over.

    and
    i'll look
    back
    and smile
    at
    what little
    cause
    i
    had
    for this.

    i am
    commanding
    thecloudsaway.
    iamCOMMANDINGthecloudsaway.

    lovefaithtrustlovefaithtrustlovefaithtrust.

    last night was remarkable. i need to keep that in mind.


By Trace on Tuesday, June 5, 2001 - 10:45 pm:

    Nate,
    U OK?


By Nate on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 12:17 am:

    sure


By Trace on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 12:32 am:

    ok then


By Nate on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 12:37 am:

    she's with her ex tonight. it is circumstance. she's not doing anything that will hurt me.

    i understand now what lao tzu was talking about when he expounded on the virtue of trust.

    it's tough. it can be really tough to be the man you think you are.

    when relationships begin, love comes in levels. when you think it can't get any better, it does. it does and it does and it does.

    it did last night.

    i want to touch her. i can't. not tonight, not tomorrow night. she's far away. he's near her.

    i'll see her saturday.

    i'll be a lot happier then. but until then...

    trust is virtuous. i am the man i believe i am.


By Trace on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 09:03 am:

    That has to be tough. Trust is a virtue, but it is also earned.


By Czarina on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 01:04 pm:

    You have to let it go.Stressing over a situation you can't control,is a most negative experience.Bad vibes.

    Jealousy is the most negative of emotions.Its nasty and evil.It is insidious.By allowing it in,you are risking your new relationship.

    If this person was with her ex,in a romantic manner,then it was not the right time for you and her.

    Simply ask her,in an adult/pleasant manner.Accept her answer.And move on.If she was,let her go.
    If she wasn't,accept her answer,and never bring it up again.

    Jealousy is evil and can destroy the foundation of a strong relationship.


By Nate on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 01:10 pm:

    she wasn't. i didn't need to ask.

    jealousy IS evil.

    i'm over it.


By Czarina on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 01:12 pm:

    I'm glad :)


By Dougie on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 01:17 pm:

    "Laughing eyes and smiling face,
    It seems so lucky just to have the right
    Of telling you with all my might,
    You're beautiful tonight.
    And I know that you will never stray
    'Cause you been that way, from day to day
    For such a long, long time..."



By sarah on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 05:18 pm:


    catherine always says that, technically, the goal isn't to be able to trust someone else. you can really only trust yourself, and if you do, then you can accurately determine if someone else is trustworthy.


    in any case, i'm *sure* she is trustworthy.





By Nate on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 05:33 pm:

    that's what i had to do. trust myself.

    i wigged out last night. i'm fine with it now.

    actually, i'm glad this has happened. i've realized a lot about myself.

    i think about myself in certain ways. assume i'll behave in certain ways in certain situations. last night, i became true to my vision.

    i didn't start that way, but writing it out i realized that i could become that way.


By Nate on Thursday, July 5, 2001 - 10:45 pm:

    she's gone again. off on some island with her ex and 20 or so of his relatives. she'll be there until saturday.

    i thought about this thread. similar situation allows me to contrast my feelings. fears?

    do i trust her more? do i trust myself more?

    i have no idea. i've changed a lot in this month.

    to think, it wasn't so long ago that i was cyst's 24 year old stoner pontificating on the Real and damien. back when i knew everything so clearly.

    and maybe i still do. maybe i've just been living it wrong.

    either way, i'm not worried in the slightest that heather would do anything that is going to hurt me.

    this rules. i rule.

    AHAH.

    fuckos.



By J on Friday, July 6, 2001 - 12:26 am:

    This you and Heather thing gives me hope.


By Nate on Friday, July 6, 2001 - 12:59 am:

    hope for what?


By dave. on Friday, July 6, 2001 - 03:12 am:

    death? release? beer?


By patrick on Friday, July 6, 2001 - 11:08 am:

    i didnt realize when you originally wrote this, whom you were talking about.



    im pretty damn sure i know now.



    ouch im sore.


By cyst on Friday, July 6, 2001 - 02:17 pm:

    recently I have been consumed by jealousy because of an ex situation.

    last saturday I was almost disappointed that she didn't crash the party like she had threatened to because I had decided I was going to cut the nicety-nice shit and just let her have it (calmly, privately, effectively).

    the jealousy has waned, as I knew it would, but it's always ready for a flareup.

    it's not that I don't trust him, it's just that I don't want her around. I wish I could say that I wish her well, but I don't.

    I am a bad and jealous person. oh well!


By semillama on Monday, July 9, 2001 - 08:46 am:

    There is no enemy anywhere.

    Who programs the Robot?


By patrick on Monday, July 9, 2001 - 11:44 am:

    who owns Bartertown?


By Gee on Friday, July 27, 2001 - 06:49 pm:

    when did you get a girlfriend again?

    I've missed everything.


By cyst on Friday, July 27, 2001 - 06:54 pm:

    nate's going out with sorabji's heather.

    the lord works in mysterious ways.


By Nate on Friday, July 27, 2001 - 07:30 pm:

    hey. my works aren't that mysterious.


By Gee on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 03:33 pm:

    are you kidding? You're kidding, right? Yeah.

    but you're not really much of a kidder.





    you're kidding, right?


By Antigone on Sunday, July 29, 2001 - 03:19 pm:

    No kidding.


By patrick on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 11:19 am:

    antigone and i shacked up for a brief stint in Tanzania.


    really.


By Antigone on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 11:52 am:

    It was brief, but will live in my heart always.

    You still owe me $20, though.


By Nate on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 01:01 pm:

    $20 US ?


By Antigone on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 01:03 pm:

    No, $20 Zimbabwe.

    twit.


By spunky on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 01:08 pm:

    36 us cents, that is barely more then the price of a stamp


By Spider on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 01:44 pm:

    It's the principle of the thing.
