Tears

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love."

~ Washington Irving.

This quote is on my profile page of my facebook. I keep it there as a reminder... a reminder of what, I'm not sure... but I LOVE this quote. There are so many times in life when it seems to explain... seems to fit the situation. I guess the reminder is more that it's ok to cry... and is probably one of the most beautiful things a human being can do, whether it be tears of sadness or tears of joy.
