Thank you! It was a good observation. <br /><br />And thank you Valerie and Prof. Downs for your comments as well.

My favorite part of my favorite parts is: "I wonder why we study the experience of precipitating grief when, whether we learned about it or not, we all experience it. To me, learning about a feeling before we’re blessed or doomed to feel it holds no benefit. It’s like learning about ‘taste’ before we are allowed to take a bite." <br />I kinda wish that's where it ended though.Elizabeth Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390315165976342952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372559354771534404.post-26875646333742229922011-10-12T19:23:33.225-07:002011-10-12T19:23:33.225-07:00I like your take on experiences-some things defy i...I like your take on experiences-some things defy initial explanations, explanations that mean nothing unless you feel it. The terms cannot convey the emotion or what they mean, no matter how articulate the definition. I enjoyed your thoughtful post.Valerie Hartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509016579150471445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372559354771534404.post-43909555055306596592011-10-11T15:35:17.270-07:002011-10-11T15:35:17.270-07:00A beautiful small essay, Lauren.

Let me say instead, that as I write this comment, I'm listening "The Man Comes Around," and letting the emotional taste of your post linger.Michael Downshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06638035877115413915noreply@blogger.com
