Salty Tears

Tears of joy and tears of sorrow … they flow exactly the same, bringing to the surface your emotions.  These salty drops are a release of what you feel inside and can no longer contain.  Some might say that tears are merely a reaction of the physical body, and there is an element of that.  Welcome your tears, however, for there is a spiritual aspect to them as well.  Greet them as holy messengers.  You are alive!  Inside of you is a spirit-being longing to express itself—to experience joy and sadness.  Yes, sadness, for in this way is the joy all the more sweet.  Does not joy at times feel tinged with sadness?  This is the play of life in human form as you slide up and down the scale of emotional experience.
