Runtu : I felt like I had a talent of any kind... / http://stihi.ru/2023/12/14/4169 / USA

When I was in 4th grade or so, I won a writing contest at school, and Uncle Clayton asked if he could read my story.

He told me it was so good he wanted to buy a copy,

so he gave me a silver dollar, and I wrote out a copy for him.

 It was my first paid writing job, and it was

the first time I felt like I had a talent of any kind.


I might not have become a writer without that

silver dollar and the confidence he gave me.

We learned that the cardiomyopathy was genetic and affected a large number of our extended family.

My mom’s youngest sister, Flora, died in 1972 at age 32, and my Uncle Don died in 1975 at age 48.

My Grandma Fisher died when I was 11 years old, and she also had the disease.

I think her death was as hard for Clayton as it would have been losing his own mother.

 At the time my Grandpa Fisher had been showing signs of dementia, which worsened significantly after Grandma’s death.

Grandpa reconnected with a woman he had known in high school, and he convinced her he was wealthy and would take her to Hawaii.

They married and ended up in Los Angeles, where my mom and Aunt Mary quickly realized she was a little off her rocker as well.

The family tried to figure out what to do.

Once while Grandpa was at Clayton’s house, a man rang the doorbell to deliver the Rolls-Royce Grandpa had ordered.

Grandpa and his new wife stayed with us for a while, and one day my mom left me alone with them, telling me to keep an eye on them and make sure they didn’t leave.

Naturally, they weren’t going to listen to an 11-year-old boy, so they left. I was terrified that they’d get into trouble (and so would I).

I was sitting on the porch wondering what my mom would say when suddenly Uncle Clayton pulled into the driveway.

He asked what was wrong, and when I told him, he said,

 “Well, there’s no use sitting around here doing nothing but worrying. Let’s go!”

He drove me to a place called “Nosh-o-Rama,” which was, as the name suggests, a Jewish buffet.

He said many times over the years that he didn’t do it for me but because he enjoyed seeing how much food I could put away.

Despite what he said, he took a genuinely scared boy and made him feel safe and loved. I will never forget it.

Clayton was a terrible tease, as all of his kids will tell you.

He always called me “Big Bad John” with that deep voice of the old Jimmy Dean song.

He also joked a lot about the Fisher family’s ability to have a lot of children. He loved his children, though he wasn’t a perfect father.

He spoiled his grandchildren rotten, however.

I remember going to a family reunion and looking out the back window of our van as we drove and seeing Clayton’s Suburban, which was jerking back and forth.

 He had his very young grandson Curt on his lap and was letting him steer.


Just after the launch of the Conestoga rocket, my Aunt Mary noticed that her heart was racing for no reason, so she went to the doctor, who told her she was in advanced congestive heart failure from cardiomyopathy.

She died a few days later in November 1982.

 After her death I received a birthday card from her, which she had sent from her hospital bed.

 That tells you what kind of person she was.

I will never forget those days and the Thanksgiving dinner we had at our house.

We were all overwhelmed with grief, but no one more than Uncle Clayton.

 He wrote later that he just couldn’t put his heart into his work after that, and he left work with the Conestoga.


Clayton married his second wife, Gloria,

in 1984, and they bought a house in Thousand Oaks, California.

Русская напевность и растяжка длиннот в звуке,
Русская неторопливая вязь слов,
Русское ощущение природы и человека,
Русская внутренняя скромность,
Русская духовность за 1025 лет,
Русское православие за 1025 лет,
Русская обрядность… 1025 лет.
Как много чистого и красивого - в этих смысловых звукосочетаниях...

Биография основателя ислама, Великого пророка Мухаммеда:


родился 22 апреля 571, в городе - Мекке


скончался 8 июня 632, в городе - Медине


В Медине - его гробница — место поклонения десятков миллионов пилигримов Ислама.

Мухаммед и Иисус Христос для нас символы духовности и эталоны чести, морали и общечеловеческого достоинства в отношениях между людьми на земле.


Их человеческие качества, особая чувствительность и восточный колорит душевности, помогли мне подняться до темы, которую я решил раскрыть для собратьев христиан.


Теплота друзей из мусульман вокруг меня - открыла путь, о котором я не догадывался. Я взглянул на Коран - их глазами. Коран распахнул мое европейское сердце. И тут я понял, что суть Святой Книги - КОРАНА - родилась из мусульманской семьи. Здесь - семейные разговоры в семье Mухаммеда и Xадиджи - и осмысление : Сути и Предназначенности Человеческой Жизни и Космического Мироздания с присутствием БОГА. Живым Источником всего на Свете - были отношения между : Мужем и Женой, чем и была : их святая и трепетная любовь : Любовь Пророка Mухаммеда и Xадиджи... Все ЭТО - выражено мной с Трепетом и Уважением в текстах пьесы " Пророк Mухаммед и Xадиджа : 575-620 годы " к их Грандиозным Судьбам. Моя любовь к НИМ - искренна и смиренна.

Letters reveal affair between AIDS stars : / /
-
1995: ROCK star Freddie Mercury had a passionate affair with ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev, according to a book out today…

The highly intimate account draws on letters written by Rudy Nureyev in which he admitted to the secret liaison.

Both stars died from AIDS — Freddie Mercury in November: London, 1991 and the emigre Russian in January: Paris, 1993.

The letters are full of lurid descriptions of Rudolf Nureyev’s homosexual encounters across the world — both casual and longer lasting. / http://proza.ru/2024/09/24/1592 /

Mostly they contain nicknames or acronyms for his many lovers.

But after describing Freddie Mercury as “Eddie”, he is then fully named.

Once, according to Rudy Nureyev, he cancelled all rehearsals and asked his theatre management for a week’s leave so that he could spend time with Freddie Mercury.
“When it comes to homosexual love, lies are inevitable,” he wrote.

On another occasion, he recalled how a frantic Freddie Mercury left a message for him after not being able to contact him by phone:

“Called you. Will call again in ten minutes. Lover.”

The instant Rudolf Nureyev came through the door, the phone rang again. It was Freddie Mercury — and it turned out he was calling from a plane and route to another liaison.

“At last!” said Freddie Mercury. “These unbearable 12 hours between two continents kill me, Rudy.”

“What’s happened?” asked Nureyev.

“Nothing,” replied the singer. “It’s just that I can’t stand it anymore without you.

"Usual thing… I can’t eat or drink. I’m on my way to you. My Boeing is crossing Mexico at the moment.”

Nureyev said there was a kiss down the phone — and then silence.

------------------
He wrote how Mercury would turn up unannounced at dawn, rushing into his room undressing on the way — and carrying a bottle of French Camus konjac.
"He is really very loud, switching on immediately all the electrical devices in the kitchen.

“Oh, I love his arrivals at my place in Kew Gardens!”

The dancer chided Freddie Mercury for his “multi-hour phone conversations from the other side of the ocean” — which Rudy Nureyev had to pay for.
But he added: “Who can blame us? We’re spending our fortunes without investing into pensions funds, medical insurance, and the rest of what other people always must do.

“We both foresee our inevitable future.”

There is a suggestion that Rudy Nureyev was close to Freddie Mercury at the time of his death — even that he was present.


It is in this passage that, for the first time, the rock star is named.

Rudy Nureyev wrote: “He wanted to die alone in his house in London — which was alien to him. It rained and I was crying at the hall of Great Freddie Mercury. He died quietly without much pain.

"And I knew it was about two years or less until I would meet there.”
1995: The book — Rudy Nureyev Without Make-up — will go on sale in St Petersburg: Russia -, today.

This carries out Rudy Nureyev’s dying wish that his correspondence should be made public first in his native country.

The book, written by Yuri Matthew Ryuntyu, is based mainly on 49 letters apparently sent by Nureyev to Patrick White, Australia’s Nobel Prize-winning author who died in Sydney: 1990.

Yuri Matthew Ryuntyu was born in Russia but has lived most of his life in Australia.

He claimed yesterday that he obtained the letters from Patrick White with Rudy Nureyev’s permission.

They outline intimate details of the dancer’s many affairs and the difficult times faced by gays both in Russia and in the West.

The millionaire star also tells of the terrible loneliness which forced him into the streets of big cities in search of someone to share his bed with.

Yuri Matthew Ryuntyu said: “In all I got more than 115 letters from Patrick White and Rudolf Nureyev himself.”

Many were repetitious and he drew on less than half of these in preparing his manuscript.

“I believe some of the letters would fetch ; 6, 000 on the open market but this collection will go to my daughter as a wedding gift,” he said.

He added: “There is no doubt in my mind that there was a close sexual relationship between Rudolf Nureyev and Freddie Mercury.”

While the pair appeared publicly together, for example at an open-air music festival in Barcelona in 1988, they successfully drew a veil over their relationship.
-
An Australian writer and journalist Yuri Matthew Ryuntyu said it was exceptionally hard to convince Rudy Nureyev that the letters should be posthumously published.

He recalled Patrick White saying that the dancer was: “… like a girl whose mood would change five times an hour… “.
