I've been here for quite a while, but have been way too quiet in my partaking and gratitude. Es mentions tears. I have learned to love my tears as prayers--to not feel guilty about them, but to treasure them as expressions of the deepest desires and longings that God has planted in my heart. I've come to trust them as stepping stones to new understanding and yes, as es says, healing. Friendships where we feel the safety to share prayers of tears truly are blessed and holy. Thank you Kate, for I'm not sure I would have learned these lessons without you (nor would I have the words for these comments--for in many ways I'm only passing on ideas that you've introduced into my life--have helped me make my own. Maybe you'll give us a blog about tears sometime!?) <BR/><BR/>Hugs to friends new and old--to all at the table!MARIA...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04444406514955752439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14060533.post-1171109722363413422007-02-10T05:15:00.000-07:002007-02-10T05:15:00.000-07:00nice comments here....

I am opening every day and some days it is not posted.<BR/>Thanks for your selfless work.

I came across your blog for the first time yesterday and smiled to see drops of dew reflecting the early morning sunshine.<BR/><BR/>By opening our hearts and allowing ourselves to feel vulnerable in the face of our apparent fears we allow others to reflect back to us our true beauty.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why but I feel moved to share with you the following...<BR/><BR/>I am reminded of my experience that being a witness to tears is to be a witness to healing (in an emotional sense.) I feel blessed when those around me are open to releasing the fears they have been holding and are not afraid of crying infront of me. I feel no fear that I must prevent their distress for I know that what causes it is not real. I don't need to tell them of its unreality for that would be an improper use of denial. I simply abide in peace, my love for my brother undisturbed and constant throughout their tears, honoured by their trust.Esther Wildshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275510250224819713noreply@blogger.com
