Julie,

Thank you for such a thoughtful and well written piece. Simply sublime.

I will endeavor to offer more "bouquets" like the one in the body of that email, and perhaps fewer critiques of our President. Try that is. Suffice it to say, however, it was no accident that I offered, along with my own words, what I though a profound offering I came across in the last few days. I think it an acknowledgment that we, that is you, Christina and I certainly, share a fairly common commitment to spiritual growth.

I would also like to offer up a few thoughts that you might consider. First, the people:

Aaron - Reading men is an artform you and Christina have no doubt honed well, and have quite astutely portrayed Aaron. Did you find the homo-erotic gestures between he and I offensive? I guess the truth be known, his experience lies mainly with men, although not exclusively, yet he was quite enthralled with the two of you (imagine that) and indicated a strong desire to further this exploration. Surely he might require reassurance, periodically, of things familiar, but as you yourself pointed out, if its with, in this case a guy, its just playin' around. And I'm all for playin' if it affects a heightened state of arousal. I'm not sayin' just "do it for Aaron", but........... :)

Christina - Although not featured prominently in my email to you, she certainly has been a large part of the last two times we've seen each other. I've known Christina for over twelve years, and on levels that have far exceeded anything between you and I. She is equally, if not more private than yourself and I trust her heart and integrity implicitly. I really do. Oh, and did I mention that about two weeks ago Christina suggested, unsolicited, that you she and I engage in a tryst all our own. You might even suggest when you see her, just for the sake of gauging interest, that you might be interested in
