When did you cry? [Author: Kaileen Elise]
It is strange to think about crying. Crying is a sad thing.
And yet…
MayBE I am NOT looking at it in quite the right way.
MayBE crying isn’t just when my eyes leak.
MayBE crying is when I open my heart to another’s situation
and circumstance.
MayBE crying is what I feel deep inside me when I read
something that is written just wondrously.
MayBE crying is when amazing JOY BEgins to dance in me.
MayBE crying is knowing one day I will walk a path similar
to the one my friend is walking today.
MayBE crying is when I look around the Wee Cottage and see
evidence that I LIVE here.
MayBE crying is discovering that I am the one who is
standing in my own way.
MayBE crying is how I explain myself to me.
MayBE crying is the way through something that makes no
sense at all to me.
MayBE crying is where I go when I am simply undone by
someone’s generosity.
MayBE crying is writing or making art or making Gracie’s
breakfast.
MayBE crying is when I hear my dad’s voice on a voicemail.
MayBE crying is when someone who is no longer that someone
for me writes Thanks, you too.
MayBE crying is daring to LIVE in the World without armour
or any defensive posturing…
