Charles. Thanks for that.
I do want to leave it there but I can’t, me being me. For my own thing, my own integrity. I don’t buy that, what you’ve said to me there, off the cuff.
I do really like you though and I want you to take this note in good faith.
I did read back – I’d read back yesterday, well before your note and I know what I think of what I can make of all of it and I rate that you have come back to it (because I think I would have too) and in the manner you have done but I’m just not sure I would have involved anyone else in it this late in the day. Not unless you wanted to come full circle, round it off with a bow given it was an interaction we’d had (you and I) to start with.
As you know I talk very simplistically in comparison to the stuff you are both talking. So seeing this interaction between you both looked like the sort of thing that should stay between you both to sort out and it looks like it has been (sorted) to the extent you both want it to be.
But involving me at this point seemed odd and I wanted to know why you’d done it so I could understand your way of thinking better. I’m about group dynamics. I know a bit about that – I know sweet fuck all about building railway lines although I do collect sleepers for my garden. I like what you’ve said in your note (to Oliver). I like what you’re getting at, Charles, it’s nice.
I don’t buy your reason for involving me in it though Charles. That’s why I suggested you wait before coming back – to give your intuition time to kick in. That’s not smartarsery that’s me giving your brain room because I consider us to be friends, I like you Charles.
But here is your answer already so I will accept it. I don’t buy it but I accept it based on the premise that we will each just let the other say these things from time to time and let sleeping dogs lie or whatever. Our interactions we have will be less than solid. I can do less than solid (not my preference though), as long I know that less than solid is on the cards, time-to-time. Otherwise I will accept that I am wrong on this one. That my own intuition is wrong.
Take care Charles. X
PS: I’m coming back straight away to you on this as I often do to everyone – I go with my intuition instantly. Mine is well fast and well honed. Sometimes I wish I were more like you Charles.
