I'm back, after a long gap of 6 months...will update once a week, at least, from now on.

Was discussing the frightful level of loneliness and lack of authenticity in human life with a friend.
There is a severe lack of substance in human interactions. Which leads to a host of problems for EVERYONE.
Too much polite conversation is bad for health. Lack of proper expression of how one feels leads to a severely restricted flow of life within us...
We often think we can express ourselves to a "REAL" friend...but years of repression and polite, careful conversation turns into a habit. We are unable to express. And if we do succeed in expressing things to a friend, it leaves us feeling afraid, vulnerable...

So what is the answer? The answer lies in finding a channel for expressing SORROW...
The basic concept:
Fundamental to healing is catharsis. Slow or fast. It does not matter. As long as the catharsis happens.
Expression of sorrow is catharsis. All the emotions that the body has repressed, if they start flowing again, it leads to health.
So crying is actually a GOOD thing.

Through pain and tears, strength and life appear...and nothing heals like the graceful expression of sorrow...
K.D. Lang peforms "Crying", originally by Roy Orbison. Beautiful performance by a saintly presence...
