Tears
It is not always comfortable to cry. Although we shed tears of joy, usually tears are shed because we are in pain; we hurt, physically, emotionally and/or spiritually.
As we mature especially in a culture that reveres stoicism. we tend to do our best to hide our tears as shedding them is often judged as a sign of weakness. Or at the opposite extreme, a display of the melodramatic. Yet, we have tear ducts for reasons beyond cleaning and moisturizing our eyes. Tears poring forth from the depths of pain are healing. Tears are cleansing and often bring relief to our sorely soulful bodies.
Crying can be a sacred action. When these moments of pain and loss come into your life, and they will, allow the tears of healing.
