Today I went to a workshop which included laughter therapy - weird but it did lift my spirits.
During one part she suggested that each day we focus on a different behavior, I remember gratitude, friendliness and forgiveness. It's only been 2 hours and I forgot the others...
Anyway. For forgiveness she had us close our eyes and picture the face of someone we were angry or resentful or annoyed with. I decided to go big and picture Henry.
And couldn't.
Honestly. I can kinda picture the hairstyle he had in high school, and I know he had a missing front tooth last time I saw him. But I can't picture him. It was somewhat disturbing.
So, I focussed on the hair flip and the missing tooth and went on with the excersixe where we were supposed to send 'positive energy' out toward them in the universe. I came up with "I hope you have someplace to sleep at night". Not exactly a wealth of generosity there.....
If I've forgotten what he looks like and I spent over a decade in intense emotion (good and bad) with him - I wonder what Lawrence has left?
