David Gurteen's comments: Jo's words capture this concept so well. I've never written it or even consciously thought it but I have always felt this about feelings - not that I have been that good about expressing them. I love it when other people crystalize what has long been tacit in me - it helps me recognize what is important in life and focus my energies a little more.
