and come out of the shadows. This is my first diary. I've been lurking in the shadows, posting a comment here and there, but afraid to post an original diary. But with all the people coming forward in the wake of the death of Robin Williams, a damn has burst. I've been inspired by ericfolkerth, with his diary "after the laughter, and, especially the diary of BoiseBlue, challenging us to stand up. As a political junkie, my comments have mostly been confined to politics, but something much deeper compelled me to post this first diary: our basic humanity. My own experience that seems to be reflected in the brave posts of those who are taking this occasion to brave a critical world to conquer our own fears and reach out to others who feel so deeply, and help the world understand what we feel, see and experience. follow me over the (I"ve always imagined how I would describe it, lol) the little orange piece of calligraphy.
