"The cure for anything is saltwater-- sweat, tears, or the sea."- Isak Dinesen
I know this is a little weird to be thankful for, but I am. I am thankful for the release of emotion that comes with tears streaming down your face, for the healing and peace you can begin to feel after the tears. Tears that come from the innermost part of your being, that rise to the surface and you cannot control them as they race down your face. Sobbing, screaming, or silently accepting them. One way or another, the tears come. They need to come. Tears force you to externalize pain, not allowing you to hold it in and tear at you from the inside. I have tasted many of my own salty tears, enough to appreciate them and know that they must end. When they end, the healing begins.
