Oh what a strange world we live in. I admire people who can cry, I find it 
so hard. I wimped out of publicly sharing the reply to the poll, just not 
ready and certainly not that courageous - yet. I know why I find it hard to 
cry, conditioned respose. The adults around me as I was growing found the 
appearance of tears an affront to the British 'stiff uper lip', to show any 
feelings was seen as some sort of failure of moral fiber. To let a tear fall 
was the occaision of being given something to cry for, a beating. And the 
strikes would continue until the tears stopped. But knowing why it's hard to 
cry dosen't make it any easier. Now when a memory surfaces I try hard to 
hold and comfort my younger self and cry the tears that belong to a previous 
time, sort of like catching up. So I wrap my arms around myself, and rock 
myself gently and weep what feels like an unshed ocean and pray for healing. 
And I salute all who ever and where ever and when ever find themselves doing 
the same. 
With love 
Lynda
