Wandering Wondering Mirror
ive been reminded that my bday is coming up & that I haven't communicated my rule *eyeroll* 😅 *inhales* every year during traditional times of gift giving I cannot refuse help nor gifts, regardless of my brain bs. one such time is my bday. As such, for July…
Also reminded that it getting buried in here is a bit unfair. and also also, wishlist?
so pinning the message and adding that.

"i’ll lighten up eventually, but lately i’ve been deep diving into the “gift of tears” an ancient belief that some sorrow is sacred.
⠀
early monks called it penthos: sorrow that cleanses, a second baptism. not weakness, but recognition but of beauty, grief, love and loss. a way the soul speaks when language fails.
⠀
i’ve cried lately over kindness, grief, animals mourning their people. and it doesn’t feel pathetic. sometimes it feels devotional.
⠀
they said if you cried during prayer, it meant divinity was near.
⠀
if you’ve cried this week, maybe it wasn’t just sadness. maybe it was holy."
