Bill's remark:

"There is a place where one can fall to and (after having fallen) learn the freedom of never having to point a finger at anyone again, much less throw a stone. It makes the journey quite a bit lighter. Arms at one's side and hands free of the excess weight"

seems to have struck a nerve with me. Perhaps because I (think I) know exactly what he means, and that I need to reminded of it every now and then.
