Thought

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

~Washington Irving~

  2. Beautiful, and I do relate to tears rising for so many reasons. I will now experience them a bit differently. As always, Ernestine, you are able to touch our souls.
    Thank you!

  3. Love that big picture of your woods. We women, for the most part, are sentimental souls.I used to hide my feelings, but not anymore.
