Thank You for The Book

Dear Lovley Amber,

Carlo here. Thank you for the book on hypoglycemia. I am learning a lot. Did you know-well, I guess you did (!)-that the type of hypoglycemia that I probably have, called “reactive” is not recognized by most doctors? It’s really true that I have to take my health into my own hands, but that is something that people in the West have been saying a long time. Even though there are many good doctors, they don’t have all the information, nor do they have the time or inclination to be so fucused on us that we can depend on them entirely, right?

I really love and appreciate what you wrote in the book, too. It’s like a thousand I love yous. I am sorry that I sometimes seem to depend on those words so much. Your love is shown in many things you do and have done. For example, I cannot forget, that you read a book on this disease, so you could help me.

You are wonderful.

Love Always,

Carlo

A Confluence of Life-Altering Surprises

The doctor’s car slides a little, side to side, as he drives quickly through the lightly plowed streets. They are filling up fast again with the falling snow. He is attempting to race on his way to his emergency. The snow is falling toward the car windshield in that special arching way that makes it seem like each puff of the white cold stuff wants to hit you square in the eye, because it always happens to be falling in the wind toward you, opposite the direction you are driving. The doctor thinks that this is the way life happens, always falling toward you in a hurry, regardless of the fact that you are steadily moving to meet it at your own pace. He couldn’t be more correct tonight.

He had dropped the curator off quickly, walking her to her door, almost tripping in the freshly falling snow that covered the layer already blanketing her front lawn. At the door he avoided trying to steal a kiss, and looked quickly, but meaningfully into her eyes saying nothing, as if to whisper ’sorry’. She looked sensible, and kind-as always- another quality that both drew him to her, and which made him wish she betrayed more passion for something beyond the legend of the artist and the muse. “Thank you for dinner, and for tolerating my story, again, Dr.”  And then, she came near and barely kissed him on the cheek.

As he arrives near the home, he prepares himself for the emergency, blocking out everything else. Reaching for his pager, to see why he hasn’t received updates, he notices it isn’t beside his cellphone on his belt. So, he dials the paramedic team for an update. The voice on the other end is one of his partners, Robert. “Don’t hurry doctor’, I’m afraid she’s gone”, says the voice.  Continue Reading

Carlo’s Love

I love when you talk
I love when you sing
I love when you whisper
About anything
 
I love when you speak English
Or Korean, or cute Japanese
I love when you look at me in a number of degrees
 
Just your face, with or without words
A  silent voice in your eyes so soft
And love is what I’ve heard
 
I love when you teach me, about nutrition, or cats, or art
Or this
Or that

It’s all a part, of you
 
I love your mind, and I love your dreams 
I love your ideas
And that’s the truth

I love you whatever it seems
 
Love,
 
Leo

Your Work is Great

Dear Teacher Amber, “The Maestro”,

Your drawing recently, is phenominal; quick, accurate, characterful, and nice to look at. I also love the new header. As Uncle Charlie used to say, “Keep up the good work”, except that I would say it is great. Please, don’t stop.

I cannot wait to draw with you again.

Love,

Your,

Leo

Develop A Relationship First

Dear Carlo,

‘I told this girl I like her. She seemed not to care very much. Should I press the issue, or drop it?’….

Traditional Ways of Finding a Mate Vs. Finding Love

Find a lover and life-partner by allowing yourself to become extremely attracted to someone who is equally, or more attracted to than you are to him or her, and to one who is available and willing to date RIGHT NOW. Any others fit into the same category into which we put passing signs on the highway; slightly interesting.  Continue Reading
