A decline viewed in disappointing contrast with a previous rise: the anticlimax of a brilliant career.

A sudden descent in speaking or writing from the impressive or significant to the ludicrous or inconsequential, or an instance of it: "Waggish non-Yale men never seem weary of calling 'for God, for Country and for Yale' the outstanding single anticlimax in the English language" (Time"
Denouement, anti-climax ??? If this blog was a novel,
I'm in --anti-climax-- blogging blahs-
If it were a love affair, the honeymoon's over-
A sexual experience, the turning away-
The climax???? Ruby Sunset !!
The purpose?? Ruby Sunset
The fruition?? Ruby Sunset
All future posts will therefore be ludicrous or inconsequential!!

You may be surprised and at the most unexpected moment maybe you will discover that the Ruby Sunset was only one of the meaningful and impressive events in your blog journey... After a climax there must be a recovery, a resting, a "sinking in" of the heightened new exciting discovery, but after our senses and heart starts returning to it's regular rhythm, thump thum... then we might be merely preparing for another great, intense apex of experience...
Don't write yourself off yet... maybe your mind and spirit must rest and your heart might need to return to it's rhythm before... another amazing climax of the spirit... Don't be afraid to take that break... but when something strikes you, or something happens that inspires you, then jump in a tell us!
Hope you have a beautiful weekend!

Hi G: Thank you-- how insightful you are--- it was intense and therapeutic -- the whole process- including reuniting with you-- I seem less frantic, more at peace, and able to speak of Chris without instant welling of tears-- though the stab in gut still pains-- but I truly feel that his spirit has interacted and played a powerful role in bringing you , Beth, and H into this fold-- it seems to me that he sought you out and drew you in--- sounds crazy, I know, but so be it-- I will continue writing,and waiting, for the next apex!! Thanks so much for continuing to be a part of this-- I look forward to your posts!!!
I notice that we seem to be online at the same time a lot!! Weird... I am actually very glad to have connected with you again... I thought about Chris often over the last twenty years and it was always in a way of wishing I had spent more time getting to know him more. I feel a lot more closure on that since I feel like I HAVE gotten to know him so much more through you and Mike and the others "in the net"... I agree that it seems like Chris made it happen, and I am touched that he was able to help me get some closure in that regret I had had...
Bizarre how things work, but VERY neat... Well, I just noticed the time and I promised to meet April at the school to check out the flea market... Take care and I am going to try and post today... not that I have done anything very interesting but we'll see....

My dear darling Nan, You are one of the most loving and encouraging people I've met. please please be around. don't go away.
I think blogging has been a beatiful and cathartic experience for all of us here. And you've been a very very important part of my journey. A journey of self-discovery. of self-faith and finding some sort of purpose and peace.
Nan, your lovely refreshing sense of humour and fun is something that I don't think I'm willing to give up... so please please don't go away.
As G put it so beautifully, there is recovery and a return to the regular rhythm of living... and your rhythm dear Nan keeps me [and I think all of us]super bouyed.
So a request from your Indian daughter... don't go away.
love you.

I think we're all going to go through several and periodic episodes of cerebral constipation.
But always know, that there's always a reader waiting for the next novel, a lover waiting to be held again, and a rekindling of passion...
Ask Frank, I'm sure he'll tell you ;-D [ok, i'm grinning].
So we're all right here... waiting.
I truly know the feeling, Nan.
I respect your decision.
I really do appreciate all your words,, it was never my intention to quit blogging,,I was just trying to express a change -- in that I didn't feel the same frenzied compulsion to "unburden", the necessity is not acute,, so now I can just have fun-- I could never NOT keep connected to all of you---- especially my daughter in India !!!! who now lives in my heart!!!
