When you can’t stop crying,

and your spirit shakes with fear.

Here is something for you.

An idea for you.

Hope for you.

Do nothing.

Hug them both,

as tightly as you can.

Open up your heart,

and let the tears rinse

the hurt and fear  out

your soul,

and into the world.

And thank the sadness,

and bless the fear,

with all your heart,

for washing your spirit,

and letting it sparkle

in the light and beauty

and color and promise,

that is what you deserve.

That is your life.
