"You don't want to pospone crying too long.....Cry every week if you can....If you put it off too long, when the ters come, they will destroy you."

absolutely true!   People are afraid to cry, afraid to look weak.  Crying heals.

Over the weekend i tried to listen more and talk less. Hoping to have some kind of enlightenment experence.

I over heard on conversation where I heard the phrases "Quietly Excited" and "Classically Overwelmed". I thought they were cool and wrote them down.

But the most profound statement I heard came from Garrison Keillor on Pararie Home Companion Saturday night. He was telling his story about a woman who buried many family members with out a tear, and lost it when her dog was accidentally killed. Then toward the end he lit into something that I started writing down but only got the highlights:

"You don't want to pospone crying too long.....Cry every week if you can....If you put it off too long, when the ters come, they will destroy you."

How true.

course it's not really the tears, but everything inside that has resulted in the tears.  Crying is definitely therapeutic, like venting.  just another form of denial when you need to cry and you don't.

I have a hard time to cry.... indeed, and do so when needed absolutely like the death of my past lover.

Did Ennis and Jack cried in the BM film?

Hugs!

Yes, when trhey parted at the end of the summer, Ennis cried in the alley. When Jack took off for Mexico, he cried. When Ennis said "Jack, I swear", he was crying.

I find since BBM I can cry much easier. When I was a kid it seems like I remember crying all the time and forced myself not to, so now it is comming back to me, and that is a good thing most of the time.

Thanks Shakestheground!

You have  good points about the BM movie, and you do not know that I will now re-see that film in order to cry more too, as you do.

Wonderful idea!

Hugs!!

It is a good thing, in moderation it is.

That's true, some people do it all the time to get attention such as a woman I work with. However, those are not real tears and that is not crying. Crying comes from an emotion that is deep down inside and people can tell if it is real or not if they look hard enough.

I know with Brokeback I begin to feel this pressure behind my eyes and a feeling in my nose and throat. It is hard to explain in words. Does anyone know what I mean or has anyone else experienced that sensation? Anytime I hear the music or see a scene I get that feeling. Other things that evoke that same thing in me bring about the same feeling. Sometimes it happens with just regular TV shows or movies and sometimes those are happy ending type things. I always try to hold that back which makes the pressure greater.
