Rating of Chapter 2 - 3 Portraits: James, Sally & Lockup
|
I hope you've come to trust me enough to know I mean it about the six stars. I've probably only given four or five in my three months on fanstory. Only yours and one other do I really think deserved it. Your chapter is compelling. I usually end up skimming the longer posts even when I like them a lot. Yours left me a little angry that I have to wait until the see the resolution.
You mentioned synchronicity. I don't know if I've mentioned this to you, but I am an addict in recovery(five and a half years free of alcohol, two and a half years free of narcotics). After I finish here, I'll be going to the jail where I'm the panel leader of a Narcotic Anonymous meeting. I've been getting frustrated because the inmates(predominantly meth-related felons) are so reluctant to share and because my home group has not been supportive so I usually have to go in alone and talk too much. While I was on fanstory, I read your piece and the Chaplain from the jail called to offer encouragement. How about that?
P.S. I am free to blow my own anonymity in select circumstances.
P.S.2Thanks for the word to the unwise about providing more background along with my posts.

How interesting. I didn't even look to see what you had read--just assumed it was my current post (The Trining), and I couldn't understand the connection with synchronicity. Ah, now I get it. Thanks for the Six, my friend. I'm not so stingy as you, I suppose, since I rarely get past Tuesday before I give out my last six.
You are a courageous person. I feel privileged being able to connect with you here on FanStory. Synchronicity there, perhaps, as well. I'm a believer in synchronicity, indeed I am! I enjoyed Jung's study of the subject. Worth looking into.
No, you never mentioned your recovery. You're performing a function as Panel Leader that is so life-affirming. I'm humbled by your role, knowing you are there to help pull up your fallen brothers, and realizing how little I've done to validate my own existence. You are a special person, Stephen.

Rating of Chapter 3 - Aftermath: Lukas and Bobby
|
| Interesting, but i felt it didn't move along as quickly as your usual plot. Perhaps it was the philosophical aside about filling empty spaces and synchronicity that made it seem so. Also, you've left us hanging about Lucas (and Bobby, in a way), and we're on to, or back to James. Perhaps I'm way off base, but have you decided where you're going with this? Maybe the test of your hypothesis is what you'll use to bring this all together. Right???? June

June, I reached the end with Lukas. He disappeared. I'll start the next chapter with James. I have been frantically trying to find some lost chapters that go into my life with the other counselors, but I've not been successful, and without them, this tale will be ending soon.
