Why is the expression of our innermost experience, our hopes, dreams, worries, and fears so often a cause for scorn or embarrassment? Who are you, what makes you happy, what terrifies you, what will make our shared experience here and now a comfort? To commune with God, the universe, with you - if only the innermost desire to express what we hold most dear would be stronger than our fears!
