Tears

I noticed years ago, when my eldest son was at the tender age of 6, he would get so worked up about little things.  Inevitably he would cry just a few tears then fall asleep, exhausted.  Allowing himself to let his tears come had an instant relaxing effect on him. 


There is a sacredness in the power of tears.  Instead of a mark of weakness, it is the amazing strength to let go.



"It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper; so cry away." Charles Dickens
