Feel The PassionI have been told many times in my life that I show no passion (except during sports) and that crying is an impossibility. While I understand this perception I know it is not true. I know that I feel anger and frustration focused on certain situations, like how our country is being changed and in a direction that scares the hell out of me.
I realized I have only cried a handful of times and most of these events were situations that caught me off guard; Times when I didn’t have the time to rationalize or put up my wall; Times when feelings have been repressed and some event occurs when I am completely not thinking of such repressed feeling and then they are exposed and I have no control, no rationalizations an no walls. And the tears are running down my face and I am unable or willing to control them.
Everyone plays with the idea of writing a book. The title of my book would be “The Times I Cried.” Of course I would be the only one to understand the hidden emotions behind these uncontrolled moments in my life. So don’t look anytime soon for the book. Anyhow, yesterday I found myself in one of these situations and I was so moved by this I wanted to share it with you.
Let me set it up for you. I lost my father and sister when I was 8 to a car accident and my mother was left with 7 kids to take care. My family was broken up into groups, some went to private boarding schools and some stayed home. So I have a compassion for family and Moms. I also lost a brother to a motorcycle accident, when he was 16. So I have a fear of losing those who are close to you especially when you have no say in their leaving. I am also a Viet Nam veteran and spent 399 days in hell. From this experience I have anger and fear about things that are larger than I am and that appear to be out of control.
So yesterday I am listening to Rush Limbaugh and Susan from Glendale CA comes on and is so passionate and yet fearful of our current situation that I found myself crying, unable to fight back the tears. I heard in her voice my fear of things heading so out of control that we all need to be fearful. Please listen to the first 7 seven minutes of Susan’s concerns and feel the passion.
