hmmm....I don't know granite. I think they help you identify your feelings. Like what you think is just hate and fear might be a bit of grief as well. It all looks the same to us, but they can see differently. I haven't cried in many, many years...not a tear. I sometimes wonder if I ever will....I kind of don't want to, because if it happens will all those years of not crying push their way out at one time?
