DAILY GRATITUDE CRYING

I am grateful for having learned…
despite what some people may imply
that when it comes to life…
It is definitely okay to cry…

How we can be filled with so much joy
from our toes up to your ears
that, unable to hold it in,
it flows out of us in tears

And how crying is one way 
to release our suffering and pain.
How our tears clean the way
for joy to enter once again.

I watched two great, inspiring movies this weekend. Both tearjerkers - felt cleansed. Sometimes you need a useful cry.
