Crying

Does there have to be a reason
for tears to wet your face
when quiet cleansing teardrops
fall fat and slowly slip away?

    Compassion can do this, your feelings for another’s suffering, joy, love, a babies first smile. No there does not have to be a reason, it just is you!!!.
    Beautiful words Estelle, beautifully written.

    Sometimes it’s a cleansing thing to do…. : ) I’m told that you get a “chemical high” after crying… Though all I get is a headache and feel really tired! : ) Wen xox

    very beautifully expressed Estelle, you have a gentle giving heart… a lady once said to me that when the heart is full the tears overflow… xxx

    There is healing in tears, sometimes they fall for no reason at all
    but soon we will find out, what peace it brought.
    wonderful writing Estelle. Elenne B.

    Dear Estelle… I found out that you write too…
    Indeed, I believe there must be a reason for tears.
    The reason can be different of course, why, your eyes, teared.
    It can be an EMOTIONAL State … Mental…
    or, some kind of health problem with your eyes :-)
    I believe, usually its the emotional state that can bring the tears.

    I wish you always to SMILE, My friend…
    the same as I wish to all of the visitors of your image :-)
    The same, as I wish myself.
    LOVE,
    SHALOM XX

    Of course our hormones, I’m sure in this picture of tears also. – not that I study the subject,
    but my conclusion.
