Spirituality is the art of coming home to one's self.

crying

There was that day I couldn't stop crying - I pulled over on the shoulder of the road
Gasping and sobbing, letting out my hurt, the hurt I felt for the kids, the hurt for the one that died, everything just hurt all over, and I just couldn't seem to get over it.

My dear friend was on the phone with me when it started. She said you better talk with someone. So I did. By then it wasn't so bad.

When is the last time you cried your eyes out?

how

I knew how and didn't
cause you didn't ask
you couldn't or wouldn't
the moment rolled past

To set a Heart free
What love can do it will
