Healing power of tears!

Considering the meanings that have been assigned to crying, I have to admit that none of them describe the true healing quality of my tears!

Yes I have cried for reasons that were easier to disguise than to admit the truth behind my tears. I used to cry because I felt so helpless about how to deal with the pain inside. Pain I could not seem to be able to explain. I choked those tears a long time ago and with that also I buried my wounds. I fooled myself into thinking and believing that time would heal my brokenness, brokeness. Yes I survived but it was only after I began to attend to my wounds, that my life came alive. The process has been exhilarating but also very, very, trying. I am happy that I kept working towards healing my wounds instead of covering them with the band-aid of superwoman and rescue ranger.

Today is one of those days when the Well within me washed away a bit more of the residue from years of toxic emotion build up that has been ravaging my soul. Healing flows to my whole person and encourages me to not resist what I am feeling. Priceless are the tears that promote healing and personal growth and ultimately, restoring my essence.
