Dear Cali Chica:

I will type away what comes to my mind on the matter without editing it, just let it flow: Cali Chica’s mother is a stranger, like a stranger, no intimacy possible, no intimate interactions possible, it is a hit and miss thing, that is, CC hitting her with an effort-to-please, an effort to make her happy, and sometimes it is received and CC is happy, she succeeded. At other times CC misses, she failed. But she will try again.

There is no substance to the relationship, no relationship really, that is, her mother is not relating to her. So CC is sitting in Soho and she does the same thing, throwing that ball, trying to hit a target, to please strangers, to make them happy.

Mother- stranger, other strangers, what about relating, honest, relating, back and forth, the real thing?
