Crying
Crying
I imagine our tears flowing into a common sea.
"All the rivers flow into the sea"...
We are all together in this.
Our shared sorrow is there, it has been for generations and always will be, as an inherent part of our human condition.
Crying is frequent when we grieve. We might cry. A lot.
It is a way of releasing strong emotions, particularly sadness.
Crying expresses these intense emotions, contributes to processing our pain and, hopefully, might help us cope with grief by releasing some of its intensity.
Questions
- Do you cry from time to time? Rarely? Often? A little? A lot?
- What makes you cry?
- How do you feel after crying?
- How are you feeling these days?
These questions are optional. You can add any comments you wish, as they come to your mind.
I look forward to your answers!
And I wish you all the best!
Marcelo.

@HealingTalk
mad part of my resolution for 2024, I’m going through even older posts and responding to them.
@Kristynsmama
iy cut off my answers. I guess it wasn’t meant to be. :)

Merry Christmas, Kristy!
You mean answering old posts addressed to you, that you didn't reply at that time?
There is a certain tolerance, I guess. People know that things might often become hectic here. After some time, they assume you lost track of their post. Most probably they might have also forgotten it.
And also you have limited energy in a place of infinite needs.
So sometimes you are forced to do a "triage".
But it's always a nice surprise to receive a reply to an old post you made.
It might bring a smile to their face.
Like a Christmas present!
All the best, Kristy!
Stay awesome!
Stay in touch!

@HealingTalk that is beautiful. Reminds me of a lot of old poems from the Romantic era. This sea is ours to navigate and master together and feel for anyone new who adds to the sea. Nobody here is alone.
