Re: An Impossible Silence

Along the question of 'Safe Havens' vs. 'A Haven, yes, but not 'safe'' there's an other bit of something that's caught my attention.
I'll post it here, even though it has little to do with the episode "An Impossible Silence." (It may actually have more to do with our next episode, "Shades of Grey."
Here's something silly about us that interests me, as it applies to you and me, and I say 'silly' because it's an almost delightful paradox.
You told me once that you see the tunnels as a womb, (which is both find and valid,) and I see them as a sanctuary, complete with confessional. (Also fine and valid, to the degree it's works as one.)
In other words, I'm seeing them as something very Catholic, - which you are- And my viewpoint is one I'm comfortable with, and it makes me happy to hold it,) yet I'd tell you I'm not even particularly religious, as I 'see what I'm looking at.'
You, on the other hand, see a 'womb,' whereas I'm the one who works with kids, and has a pair of those. "Growing kids" is kind of what I try to do, day in and out. Pulling them through the grade all year long is a 'birthing process.' (If I've done a good job, I have a bunch of kids who are ready to go 'up and out' into the world.
It's funny to me that you'd THINK I would hold your view, primarily, and you would hold mine, thanks to just 'who we are,' as people.
Just a fun observation,
Cindy
