<p><strong>Chris Edgar</strong> presents <a href="http://www.purposepowercoaching.com/site/?p=168">The Power Of Silent Conversation</a> posted at <a href="http://www.purposepowercoaching.com/site">Purpose Power Coaching</a>, saying, &#8220;Many people’s biggest fear around interacting with others is that they’re going to “run out of things to say” and create a bad impression with their silence. However, while silence makes it harder for us to control the impression we create, it also opens the way to deeper and more fulfilling relating with people. When we release our need to fill the space in conversations with meaningless chatter, or manipulate and distract others with our words, we gain access to a dimension of human relationships most of us rarely, if ever, experience.&#8221;</p>

I decided to channel that through my photography. I wanted to capture sheer unadulterated decay and death… of the plant variety, at least. This was my plan for catharsis. And by the end, I realized that even when your surroundings seem depressing and grim, there is still some beauty to be found within. (bunch of nature photos included)&#8221;</p>

And more often than they would if they knew how it kept them from being open to the possibility for more in their lives.&#8221;</p>

I know for instance the marriage was in difficulty and also that the marriage had been &#8220;abusive&#8221; in many ways. Now I am not saying that they didn&#8217;t love each other, I am not saying that he didn&#8217;t create some wonderful memories but it made me think how strongly I feel about<img src="http://www.blisstree.com/widowsquest/files/2008/03/istock_000004696750xsmall.thumbnail.jpg" align="right" /> keeping those memories real&#8230;
<p style="text-align: left">I hope I remember the good, the bad and the indifferent because our relationship was not perfect. <span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span">Love isn&#8217;t perfect, people are not perfect</span>. However, he was perfect for me. Distorting our memories may help in some way, but are we masking the reality? <span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span">Wondered what your views were&#8230;.. </span></p>
