Drowning

How much emotion is too much emotion?

Is it good to feel too much?  What about insulating oneself from grief, after grieving deeply?  Because, theoretically, grieving never ends.  However, in the interests of staying sane, we spend a little time in grief, and then resolutely move one leaving behind a blue pool of pain.

Someone else will come along and trip and fall into it.  We all get wet.

Too much wetness.

Is too much emotion an indulgence?

Sometimes, just sometimes, I let things slip and let a surging wave of feeling crest over me.

I don’t try and surf it, as I’m often tempted to, and wont to do.

Drowning is scary.
