Email Phyllis more aobut Wes and Yesterday

Dear Sunny One,

You must understand about yesterday: It is not the I don't BELIEVE Dale's memories; it's that I don't want to ACCEPT that Douglas died in such horror and pain. The words, he "screamed like a man on fire," keep running through my brain like lab rats on an exercise wheel until I want to scream. Even if Dale's memories are fragmented and not quite literal, the underlying facts stand out. Dale saw Don Marzano at the scene of my husband's death and by some means, magical or not, Marzano was part of Douglas' murder. I want justice! And the sole witness is described by one of his closest friends as less than reliable. This, more than anything, is why I felt so defeated yesterday.

This morning I have been considering the idea that Wes was trying to spare my feelings but he didn't. I even said to him, "That doesn't make me feel better." But, he insisted that it is wise to maintain a skeptical mind when examining the paranormal. Ha! This from a man who has a store dedicated to a belief in the Jersey Devil! You want me to "look at him in a different light than the friend that you have held dear for so long." My dear, Wes has never been a friend of mine!

Until the poltergeist activity here, I had never stepped foot in his store or
even invited him to our larger parties. Yes, I saw him at community functions, clowning around and acting undignified for a man his age. I noted this facade and saw the complexity beneath it. Often, at town meetings, he would stand and raise insightful, pertinent points so I knew him to be intelligent. The positions he took revealed his integrity and I believed he was an honorable man in his dealings with others. But until all this strangeness happened to me, I basically discounted him for being a flake who believed in UFO's and mythical monsters stomping through the local woodlands.

Now, of course, I myself have had direct experience with such things and could rightly be called a flake by others. So, on that basis, Wes and I could have built a friendship until the incident at the Ashram. If I hadn't been so upset yesterday, I might have taken the opportunity to say, "Now tell me what all THAT was about!" My mind was preoccupied with the immediate need to verify the story Dale told you and move forward. I missed a chance at his undivided attention (heavy sigh).

I do hope today will be restful and no additional calamities will further drain me. I am so weary of drama and trauma.

Love, Phyllis
