From BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN STORY TO SCREENPLAY: “The most difficult scene was the paragraph where, on the mountain, Ennis holds Jack and rocks back and forth, humming, the moment mixed with childhood loss and his refusal to admit he was holding a man. This paragraph took forever to get right and I played Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny’s “Spiritual” from their album “Beyond the Missouri Sky (Short Stories)” uncountable times trying to get the words. I was trying to write the inchoate feelings of Jack and Ennis, the sad impossibility of their liaison, which for me was expressed in that music. To this day I cannot hear that track without Jack and Ennis appearing before me. The scraps that feed a story come from many cupboards. — E. Annie Proulx THE PARAGRAPH… What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.

I swear…that I loved you…
I swear…I’ll never forget you…
I swear…I’ll go on living as a tribute to you…
I swear…that I’ll meet you on the other side…
I swear…if you faked your own death & you’re in Mexico I’ll kill you MYSELF, Jack Fuckin’ Twist !!
i love this…. it reminds me of beautiful sunny afternoons in the living room with a gentle breeze coming in through the open windows and luscious Vancouver scenery.
most wonderful thing to fall asleep to each night!
