I've come to this board crying for help, crying for someone to listen to me, someone to understand... Is what we really want someone who can understand us, to whom we could cry out the pain that is undescribable. ‘Who, if I cried out would hear me among the Angel's hierarchies...' as Rilke put it. I know someone does - not an angel, but we must take turns to be angels for each others, because we, and we alone, can relate to the full range of pain when someone cries a single word:'Help'.As long as we are able to express that word, we can express our full pain, our entire hopelessness that sometimes seems to continue from eternity to eternity, and how tired we are, how distant and separate we sometimes feel, how we are sometimes afraid to cry out because we fear that if we start we won't be able to stop.
This will pass, as it must. And perhaps you must go through what you are going through right now so that when I, or someone else cries help, you can be an angel.
I'll be checking this post, hoping to hear from you.
This will pass.Dee
