Tears.  Was just deep in thought thinking about tears.  Where do they come from?  And what are they capable of?
I watched a cool scene in a movie the other day with my son.  A fallen tear from a phoenix quickly healed a deadly wound on the main character’s forearm.  It was just a movie, and I’ve yet to see a teary-eyed-phoenix-rescue in real life, but the scene came to mind just now when I was thinking about the power of tears.  Maybe tears can heal deadly wounds?  Maybe they can heal the world’s deepest injuries?
My guess is, that the main ingredient in tears, is love.  I wonder what would happen if whenever I cried, I put some tears on my finger, and then traced them over my heart, or over whatever was hurting.  I wonder if this action would help to complete the love/tear connection.  I’m going to try to remember to do this the next time I cry.
Do you do anything healing with your tears?  Do they simply get wiped away on your shirt or the back of your hand?…that’s where most of mine go.  I know for me just having them usually feels cleansing enough without any further action taken…but I do like the idea of putting them on whatever hurts.  I’m going to try it and see what happens.
Thanks for listening, and I hope any tears you shed in life help to water your soul.
