Words. Words can be like boulders. Its hard to get them out, even for someone like me. I love to talk. I love discourse. The hardest things go unsaid---usually. Pain. Conflict. Hurt. The pain of the heart. We blame & deceive, even ourselves. I have suffered from tormenting self-deception. "I go through life with the assurance of the sleepwalker." Saying 'goodbye' is the most difficult thing. Goodbye to love, life, friends, crutches, comforts....it can be the hardest thing. Thank you Jim Goodrich for the image. Skate-Ozzie
