A passing thought

When I was young

I had a hole in my soul so big

I fear

my son might have fallen into it

Clouds,
How lovely to hear from you again. Yes, those words came to me from deep inside. I had to leave whatever it was I was doing that day, and write them down in my blog - just to see them "out there," but also for others, like you, who might actually know what I mean. Thank you for your comment about this. I appreciate it very much.

Tamar,
This is a stunningly powerful statement. I can't truly know how you felt raising your son, but I can see those words and I can know how I felt raising mine (now 27 yrs old), and I can't think of words more suitable than these you wrote. Thank you.

Yes. Intense. Thank you, Richard ... for understanding that.

That's very intense. I can feel how much is behind those few words.
