I want to do something for cym.

[bluntforcemama]

Is there anything that we can do as a group for her? Any suggestions?

 

[bluntforcemama]

I think as an individual, I'm going to give her a piece of my artwork. It's the only material possession I have to give. Other than that, she has my love and hope.

 

[Azwed]

We could form a posse.

I mean she knows where he lives and we have plenty of gun toting lit members


Ok fine a serious sugestion. Just send her emails and PMs telling her that she is a good person and this is not her fault. I know girls who have had men just leave them hanging without a word and I know what it does to their self confidence.

 

[Guest]

I can't think of anything. But, if anyone has any ideas, I'd be happy to help out.

I feel for her.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I want to give her a hug and then take her out for a girls night out someplace.

*sighs*

All I have are my words to give her. And my thoughts are with her. She's incredibly special.

Maybe some tylenol. I think her head must be hurting right about now.

 

[bluntforcemama]

Maybe we could all chip in and get her a cruise to the Bahamas or something?

 

[modest mouse]

Its important not to overwhlem her here. Allow Lit to be an escape for her, not a 'heavy' environment. I think she will deal with much of this in PMs with her freinds. Thus, I think its wise to let it lay low a bit. She should dictate how and when she wants to open up.

Or...just post all kinds of nude pics.

 

[LordMagicMan]

*sigh* I dont have the first clue of what we could do for her... I just hope the best and that shes okay...

 

[bluntforcemama]

I'm not sure I want this to lay low. I want everyone to know how special she is to me, to others, to all of us. She's more than a friend to every single one of us, even if we don't know her well. She'd go out of her way to help us all, so we need to help her now, whether she asks for it or not.

You are so right, shes such a sweet person... *sigh* she doesnt deserve this kind of treatment

 

[Azwed]

Well if a large group of people want to email her/pm her i suggest taking it in shifts. Names A-F contact her tomorrow, then G-O contact her the next day and so one. Something like that spread it out so you don't jam her inbox/email proggy.

Posse

I kind of like the posse idea myself....being a southerner and all...*wiping my rifle with gun oil*...

Really need old sawed off shotguns and trusy old colt six shooters for a proper posse though. That and the ocasionaly old Reminghton(sp?) repeating rifle.

ok..ill bring my Winchester model 97 30-30 cal...just so we keep in context.

 

[Azwed]

Ah perfect got to keep things historicaly accurate you know.

I would love to help cym in some way right now, but I think what she needs is time to recoup and get her sense of balance again. I agree with an earlier poster - let Lit be her refuge, her place to come and simply be loved and accepted. To "do" something for some one can cause a feeling of having to return the favor. I would say send her an e-card and PM, but give her the trust here she is so badly in need of.

Just my .02 work.

But, Myst, I do think giving her some of your artwork is a lovely idea.

I agree completely, Chele. Having been on the badly burned end of a relationship, I know how completely valuable that "alone time" is, and how much it's needed. Let's let her come back in her time, and when she does, shower her with the affection she deserves.

Oh..and for those of y'all organizing a posse. Y'all don't know nuthin'. You can't have a proper posse without a hangin' rope.
I gots one right here.

 

[Southern37]

Hell im from GA you know there is no way i could forget the rope!...hey ya'll...we're gonna have a lynchin!....yaaa hoooo!

Yee-haw! Can I be the hick with the pitch fork?

Um... I mean... [pretentious voice of morality] No! We can't do that! Its Barbaric! [/pretentious voice of morality]

So... I'll meet you guys at the cross road? I gots me a good sturdy pitch fork!

 

[darrenfate]

Myst,

Your idea about artwork has me thinking. Maybe we could all pose in a way that Cym would like, and post the results in a thread. It should make her laugh a few times!. What kind of poses would work?

 

[estevie]

I just hope she is ok, this is a major devastation. I'm worried.

 

[YogiBare]

I'm with y'all ...

And sign me up for the posse, too. I'll bring the scary dogs.

Here's my idea - Since we have so many writers here, we don't we all combine to do a poem in Cym's honor. Each person who wants to contribute can write a stanza.

 

[cymbidia]

Guys?

I can't possibly express the complexity of the wildly divergent emotions rippling through my soul and heart right now, except...

Have you ever been to a tide pools area when the tide is on the move, either in or out? Have you watched the viciousness of the swirling currents as they drag bits of life, vegetable and animal, into and out of pockets of deep calm? Have you noticed the way some of that life clings tenaciously to the sides of various pools, refusing to be dragged and dumped in some outlying place that's not *home*?

I feel like that. My heart, my soul, my self; they feel like that.

I feel upended in my life, like all the bits which together equal me are being tugged and dragged and lopsidedly rearranged by forces so far outside my control that all i can do is cling to the rocks and hope most of me ends up close when it all settles down.

The tidal pull always calms, doesn't it? It always finsihes it's mad dash toward the shore or out to sea. Then, all those bits of rearranged life, they find their way home or they pick up where they were deposited and call that new place 'home' from then on.

As it will be with this, with me.

I know it, this morning.
Last night, though, i was feeling the tugging and pulling and ache of displacement. Last night, when i was WAY into that bottle of brandy, i felt the sizzle in my blood as the barriers holding my inhibitions crashed to the floor, and i gave voice to the confusion and hurt of my involuntary battering by Life's tidal forces.

I shouldn't have posted what i did. Not because y'all don't deserve my truth, but because i didn't want to post about all that. I'd made a decision not to post about it. It *hurts* too much. I didn't feel i could discuss it openly and still have Lit be the place of refuge and care and laughter and love and respect that i *so* needed it to be, that it's always has been, for me.

But, well, that's a moot point now, isn't it?

Now we can all watch as i try to struggle against the tide, try to hold on while the waters of my life ebb and flow around me, viciously battering at my skin one moment and soothingly holding me up so i don't drown the next.

Shit.

In any case, you all are incredibly, extraordinarily kind and good people. I thank you for the love and care and comfort you've offered me. As i've said elsewhere this morning, at the moment, i'm scared of all the kindness and care and comfort and love coming my way. I'm so empty right now that i can't possibly give even a fraction back to those who have given so open-heartedly to me.

But it doesn't mean it's not welcome.
It's incredibly soothing, that care.
It flows over the cracks in my heart like water to the roots of a parched plant.

Thank you.
b.

cym,
I hope very much that you not restrict yourself, or any of us, to merely watching. I rather hope more that you will allow us to form the human chain that can reach into those turbulent waters and take hold of your hand, and bring you to a place where things don't seem to vicious.
In any case, we can help with the struggle. At least we can try.

I'm thinking anything naked, and submissive, maybe with antlers on for the holidays with KM as Santa.
