Vulnerable

Putting ones self "out there" is scary business.
Putting ones heart on the webs is crazy stuff.
But putting that web in the hands of your friends is more scary.

I am on a mission to overcome some of that craziness.
Maybe it's my pride.
Maybe it's my ego.
Maybe it's been my way of hiding.

If I am ever going to help people through the abyss I have traveled,
If I am ever going to help people support others intelligibly,
If I am ever going to help anyone, I must share myself.

Dear Friends, Welcome to my quiet grey world.
Quiet, because the noise of earth really bothers me.
Grey, because the white on a page is hard to read past - I have a brain injury.
My world.

i have spent awhile reading your posts. there are questions that i have...but i think they would bring more pain, because i am so ignorant about your particular grief and effects. but i am here as you take each step on this journey to Healing. and asking Him to redeem your pain. and from this post i can see, you are asking the same thing. amazing things happen when pain is used to help others. oh, and i like quiet. and i like gray, too. :)
