What's odd is that the closer the rage comes to the surface, the touchier I am not only about expressing it, but also about listening to others vent. Sensitivity should not be difficult to interpret; but when layers of defenses are in place, they complicate everything.

There was something else to say and it just went poof! in my mind. Never mind, it always comes back eventually....but if I tense myself up concentrating on finding it, that is the surest way to shut it down and block it off. So, better let go for now.
