Between this one and 'To This Day' ... great videos but they don't make it easier to put one foot in front of the other.

You did post a warning.

I know. It's how I process pain and sorrow, unfortunately. Resisting the pain only intensifies it. Embracing it takes away its power. Owning it puts you in charge.

Then there's trying to make sense of it all, while knowing that can't be done, and learning to accept uncertainty, embrace it, and then own it as well.

At least that's the goal. The leap from the metaphorical "Hey you kids get off my goddamn lawn!" to "Let's go out on the lawn together." And if you are very fortunate it's all lawn, all you, all them.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't have posted the videos. They're great. I understand what you mean and to a large degree I do that too. I just need to take this a bit at a time; go out on that lawn for awhile but come back inside at times for a break. And so on.

No need to apologize, I didn't read that into your comments.

Goddang, man. I had one of those Animusic DVDs some years ago, but... I guess they've kept pushing he envelope.

By the way I found this post the old-fashioned way. Like, opening threads.
