K is for ~ Keep Talking

One of my favorite songs from Pink Floyd's work post Rodger Waters. I had no idea that there was a video for this song using a part of one of Robin Williams' movies.  I grieved - along with the world the day we lost him. This song fits perfectly for those who feel they do not have a voice. Those who suffer depression, abuse, and other isolating situations - communication is key. Reach out to those who seem "off" or that distance themselves from others. Get them to open  up and show compassion for their situation, whether or not you understand them. It is vital and sometimes life dependent.  We must keep talking... I think I should speak now I can't seem to speak now My words won't come out right I feel like I'm drowning I'm feeling weak now But I can't show my weakness ~Pink Floyd

As I grew up, I watched with delight, all of your movies. You made me laugh and you made me cry. Your characters  were inspiring and you brought them to life like no other. Your energy and compassion for others  truly radiated through the big screen and interviews.    If you could come back for even one  day, you would see how many lives you have touched throughout your lifetime. The world became a sadder place yesterday afternoon. We lost yet another ray of sunshine.  It was yesterday that I learned of your battles and heartaches. You see, I don't follow celebrity lifestyles. But if I had followed yours, it would have explained the sorrow  I saw behind those twinkling blue eyes  of yours all these years.   Your death has raised a lot ...
