THE conversation

meike was home already when i arrived. she was very excited about the kaktus and wanted to hear all about my day. then she asked if she had to wait until tonight to hear my stories. so i told her. it went better than my wildest imaginings. well, in al my worrying i was much more eloquent and she was much less understanding. i had faith she´d be cool with the sexuality thing, she´s friends with michi, after all. but i didn´t expect her to be so understanding and sympathetic about the christian thing. i guess we´re just beyond the point where it´s possible to stop being friends. i´m always so pleasantly surprised when i realize this. i felt so light and free after telling her this- no more secrets and lies. made for a giddy evening.
