Going out into the world to do what we can in our little corner. <BR/><BR/>It is the desire to know and be known all wrapped up in the secrets that have contributed without invitation to the person that we have become. This is the life we live as we risk it all and become vulnerable to another human being. <BR/><BR/>Good thoughts Dana...Good questions as well. I will ponder further.much2ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392298165950651491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-68959448536512743122009-03-08T13:40:00.000-03:002009-03-08T13:40:00.000-03:00More and more I am beginning to close up on reveal...More and more I am beginning to close up on revealing too much of myself.

I am thinking particularly when it is secrets shared within a really dysfunctional family as an example. Its so unhealthy. but i think they can also be a comfort too when it is something shared with a person whom you have a completely open healthy relationship with....who is a confidante and perhaps a true touchstone in your life both enhances and strengthens the friendship.<BR/>Secrets you keep to yourself? well, i guess it depends on what it is.<BR/><BR/>having stated all that, they can drive you crazy too and do a real number on your head.<BR/><BR/>Scarlet....secrets are all bad? some of them are fun aren't they?<BR/><BR/>paul...i have also heard that too. i hope that for the most part though that i've found people in my life where i wouldnt have to test the waters so to speak. though i have been burned.....am thinking of a friend from a long time ago who couldn't for the life of her keep a secret....<BR/>to tell a lie first? I don't like that feeling. however, to tell a lie to protect a secret? i think thats a different scenario. i would do that.awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-8374048426332461292009-03-07T03:28:00.000-04:002009-03-07T03:28:00.000-04:00Tell a friend a lie.

Perhaps they are just buried by the years that have gone by, perhaps they have dissolved, disappeared within the age-ravaged part of my mind. Or maybe they are still there, ready to climb out of the depths when called by the arrow that manages to pierce the gloom where they lie buried.<BR/><BR/>What that arrow will be, I cannot tell. A sentence, a scent, a word? There are secrets buried there, where memories lie. I may surprise myself one day by recalling them. But perhaps then they won't be so important? Or even relevant? Some secrets need to shrivel up - they are past their time.Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322140697547406511noreply@blogger.com
