[kj] Open Letter to Jaz

[Alex Smith]

Well, Jaz famously asserts that he never uses the `net, if he can avoid it. I don't imagine Geordie genuinely cares. Youth and Paul I cannot vouch for, but regardless, this sort of stuff is best kept to private exchanges. Moreover, I don't believe the intended recipient of this missive would be exactly pleased by the "open letter" aspect of this endeavor.

My impression from way back -- apart from Raven's involvement, and somewhat as a result of that -- that the band benignly neglects this forum as a matter of policy.

Respectfully, I don't know that this is the best forum for this particularly sensitive and personal type of message, nor do I believe Jaz actually reads anything on the Gathering.

I most certainly do not understand, I will speak about whatever I want, whenever I want, to whomever I want, and I resent your tone! Pun intended. 
Speak to me like a human, not like a corporation.

Beloved,

I seem to be running out of options to contact you for a private conversation, so I'm assuming that you're okay with sending messages through friends.

I believe no introductions are necessary. You know very well who I am, even when you don't mention me. I think it's healthy to keep a small amount of doubt, though, because as human beings we can err.

What a magnificent wall you've built around yourself. What a magnificent masque. How does it serve you at this point? My masque is not serving me at all anymore.
It's going to be harder and harder to maintain it anyway.

By social norms, I should probably conclude that you don't want to talk to me, when I don't get a conventional response. But I refuse to believe that.

If I'm mistaken, so what? You can just tell me off. Nothing happens, nobody loses. If I'm mistaken, I'd like to let go and move on with my life. I'm just crazy, who cares. It's okay.

But if I'm right about your heart... Well, that is a different story. Let's start writing it. I want to meet you. I'm not running away this time.

I love you, kitten. What are you going to do about it?

I made my peace with any possibility. Even the middle way. In any case, I need to know where you stand. I'm not making the mistake again of deciding that for you.

Thank you for your attention. I don't know what's going to happen or not. I don't know what to expect. However, it would be a very boring world if even Jaz Coleman was predictable.

You seem to enjoy having events well documented, you hot nerd. As a technical writer, I approve!

Well, this is me being true to myself and sticking with my own truth. Not completely irrational, not completely rational. Not completely discrete, not completely indiscrete.

This is me, believing. Where's you, communicating? Please, help me build this bridge. And huge gratitude to all those Gatherers who have been helping.
