Default Who will I invite to drink from my well today?

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

You are reading from the book Today's Gift

It is such a secret place, the land of tears.
—Antoine de St. Exupery

Where do tears come from? Perhaps each of us has a private well where the tears rise from. Each of us has our own landscape of events that have hurt us or given us joy. And so we have our own private responses to the world around us. Something may hurt one of us that would not hurt another. Like the oceans and rivers, sometimes our well of tears is flowing. We do not always understand all the forces affecting the oceans, or our well of tears. The kind of bucket that draws water from a well is solid and durable, and it lowers itself deep enough to find water. Good friends and family members are like that. It is comforting to share our private well with such people.

Who will I invite to drink from my well today?

It was never easy for me to cry or allow myself to shed a few tears. My husband told me early in our marriage that I used them as a weapon and I was to shut them off and not use them. There was a lot of pain during the 3 years we were married, so a lot of feelings were internalized. Tears are healing.

So many people fear sharing and being open with others, because of the fear of tears, the overflow of emotions, but as it says here, we have a well to go to when every we get thirsty. The well is big enough to share with others, and unless we feel those feelings, we can't let go.
