Cat Kabira the Second

So where I’d left you with Cat was us sitting on a ledge in Amed tripping about Newness. After a while Cat and I started spending a lot of time together. It was the old story about Just Good Friends, but there was always something else on the border, discussing things with immigration, getting its bags checked, waiting to come in.

Abstinence makes the groin grow tender. Once the reluctance began to become a turn on we knew we were in trouble. And so the sexual energy that was brewing between us was eventually acted upon.

...

You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, and force the issue with God, you'll get what you need. What Cat and I needed was a wakeup call to reallign what we 'want' with what we Actually Want.

A riddle for sure.

It never felt right for Cat and I to add sex to our friendship. Doing so nearly cost us our connection. When she left for the States after a particularly nasty break up breakdown there was a lot of smoke in the room. But over time it cleared and when she returned a few months later we were able to connect with greater depth and friendliness.

Now she's off becoming a yoga/shamanic/human rockstar and Aces and Oxen wishes her every success. She is a true friend and I know, in some way, she'll always be in my life.
