The Sacredness of Tears

Growing up, I was often told not to cry; that crying was a sign of weakness and men don’t cry. It is only in becoming a man that I have learned the truth about tears. Tears are sacred; tears can express the ultimate truth of you in a moment that no word could define.

Tears come in many forms and for various reasons. They are all sacred and unique. Tears can tell a story or heal an old wound. Just as you should never pass up the opportunity to learn and grow as a human being, you should never hold back the gift of sacred tears.

Thought for the Day- And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
