I feel like all of you are naming why *I* find it hard to comment elsewhere, too. Yes, Atticus--time is one of my biggest reasons. And Cindy, I feel the same way you described, too: how can I adequately respond in brief to something I'm moved by, positively or negatively? Your writing regularly makes me happy and makes me want to come see your big old house and know what it's like to live in such a literate, romantic sort of family. But you wouldn't know that, would you? Again...here I go to practice my preaching... This is so helpful, everybody! I feel like all of you are naming why *I* find it hard to comment elsewhere, too.

Sometimes so much so that it's much easier to avoid your blog than read it! (Conviction...ouch!) What I have always loved about your blogging is your honesty and persistent pursuit of a deep and true understanding of yourself and the human condition in general. This brings me back eventually and very likely will as long as I'm reading blogs. Will try to make notes more often. It isn't uncommon for me NOT to comment simply because there isn't time to say all I'd want to pour out in response. Even a "Yeah! What you just said!" is encouraging, though, and I'll try to do that more often. Your stuff is worth that, any day.

Yes, I relate with your words, too. This medium is such a strange one--super personal and yet impersonal, because it's only a computer screen in front of any of us, at the same time. I think this combination makes me quiet, often, in other people's comments. Like I'm peeking in through a stranger's window. Hi endment! Yes, I relate with your words, too.

Will try to make meaningful comments --- I will be watching to see the results of your exploration of the silence. Wishing you success.
