Tears
What have you been taught about tears?
It takes so little for me to tear up
and for them to flow freely.
My Bubby would say they came from God,
Others would ask me if I needed something to cry about.
I choose to listen to Bubby’s wisdom
and remember that tears are a sign
I need to stop, breathe and rest.
They are a sign I need a sabbath moment.
My tears are a sign I am swimming
in the stream of the Ultimate.
I swim with others who have come before me.
My tears are a reminder I am not alone,
I am not falling apart,
I am not weak.
My tears remind me I am alive,
the Ultimate is working in me
and my soul is alive.
My tears are not a sign of pain,
but a sign of healing and life.
My tears come from the ancestors
with whom I swim
and whom swim with me
My tears encourage me
to stop and listen
to what my heart and soul are telling me.
Tears give me insight and understanding
of life and my journey.
Next time you tear up,
stop, breathe and
swim with the Ultimate
and grow in your tears.
