sometimes the heart is so sad
that the tears cascade out of our being…
sometimes we feel there is nothing that can bring it out of the dark
sometimes the hurt is carved so deep…
and no matter what we have tried …fails
sometimes there are those raindrops even when the sun shines…
our eyes are blurred with confusion…
our heart strings have been stretched beyond their endurance…
so…sometimes… we want to quit and give it all up
… it is then…

that we are called to believe even when we don’t
…it is then…
that we have to reach beyond ourselves
and be thankful for the tears that flow …
tears… the droplets of grace from God…
…we have to reach for the deepest part of our self and sit with who we are…and be present to the GOD within…
…hang on to that HOPE even when it seems it is not there
…it is then that we have to believe in the BEST of each other
and of ourselves…
sometimes… despite all that speaks directly against our struggle
we have to keep going…and never stop loving…
