Conversations with the dead

How do you talk to the dead? How do you finish conversations that never happened? How do you find resolution when the person you desperately need to talk to is gone? How do you speak to both sides when all you have is your voice and no other?

These were my questions I asked myself in the shower. How do I have the unspoken conversations? I think the answer is to just begin. Let the conversation carry the words downstream and see where the are carried.

Part of me is scared that someone reading this would think that this conversation happened in real time in real space. In fact the conversations have only happened in my head, so far. I am curious to see what the conversations become as they leave the confines of my skull and grow wings. 

I am debating whether or not it would be prudent to record these conversations via audio or here. There are merits to both. I know that spoken word is quicker but it also requires some scripting to keep the erms and ahs and uhs to a minimum. I know I sure dont want to listen to that crap. I guess if the recording idea works, it could also pave the way for a written transcript that might be worth reading. We'll see if I speak like I write.
