"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."
