To you, Shame on me

To follow yesterday's purging  - as all emotional and potentially hurtful words or actions (no matter how honestly or innocently rendered) must be followed by a heartfelt recognition of responsibility and sincere offering if relational scars are to be prevented - today's Noteworthy letter comes in the form of an apologetic letter scribbled by the late saxophonist Charlie "Bird" Parker to his wife Chan.  I have no idea what he is apologizing for in particular, but apparently he wrote countless letters, notes, and poems to her over the years.  This one hangs in the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago.

To You;

The way I thought was wrong, having not known, it was right.

Here is the proof of my feelings, Don't hate me, love me forever: - -

Beautiful is the world, slow is one to take advantage.

Wind up the world the other way, and at the start of the turning of the earth, lie my feelings for thou.

To you

Shame on me.

I love you.
