| Posted by David R Spellman on 09/03/03 at 01:28 AM Wow! You capture so well the relief after a long day's work, or a trip away, or after experiencing some tremendous emotional drain... could be so many things that make us melt after crossing that threshold of home's safety and comfort. I could FEEL the relief and anguish in this --- very powerfully written. |

Nor there's need to keep on manifesting the projected image of the personality. One can just be in what ever situation one is. Lonely in one's own skin and essence.
