This is beautiful. I feel the same way about anger. At work they say over and over that anger is a secondary emotion and is usually there because you can’t put into words how you feel. The same with I’m scared.

This is the fundamental human experience. Who amongst us has not felt the exact same way at times, most times? Who better to elucidate the struggle of life than a child?

Beautiful, raw. I think I feel the exact same way, right now.

Religion. What ever flavor you like,

I miss you (insert deity)

I want you (insert deity)

I need you (insert deity)

Don’t go (insert deity)

For much of humanity’s existence we have looked to the spiritual realm for comfort. Isn’t it interesting that in this day and age of hyper connectivity that we are now looking towards ourselves and our tribe. And isn’t that what is all about anyway?

That, my lovely woman, is a moment for your novel.

@Gurl, I was thinking exactly this as a read through Irving’s heartfelt comment. Scared is scared, and easier faced in solidarity, but also it is contagious, and easily spread from one to another.

If we find new words for scared, maybe we can be together on the edge of the vortex, not allowing any of us to be sucked in….

Hugs and butterflies,

@Irving Podolsky, I wonder how many times your wife, my mother, and so many other "strong" women have done the same thing. Didn't talk about being scared because it would scare the children, worry the husband/lover/friend...I know I hold scared to myself. I can't stand to worry those I love just because fear is trying to hold my hand.

Thought provoking. I can so recall these same walks with different lights, paths and journeys, journeys…

Your writing has, is and does always keep me company for pushing ahead.
Thanks Kelly

The lanterns are all there. Phone. Txt. Email. Skype. Chat. Facebook. But you have to walk alone.

@Irving Podolsky, being a man is a lonely business.
