Obviously, the answer is yes.  Most of cry at some point in our lives. As I thought about this question, I reflected on my journey related to when and how I cry.

There is the polite tear or two.
The sobbing, snot running out of our nose cry
The stream of tears you can’t stop
The surprise cry – didn’t expect it
And several others…

When I cry is interesting.  Over the years, I’ve learned to trust my body and honor it’s need to “overflow” emotion, so I let her cry when she needs/wants to. BUT for years, I suppressed the tears and would only let them out when I felt safe or when it was appropriate.

So, do you cry…

In public
In the car
In front of others
At commercials or movies or TV shows
When someone else starts to cry

 
OR is there a stream of consciousness that says

Don’t cry – it’s not safe
Don’t cry or you’ll be seen as overly emotional.
Don’t cry because boys don’t cry
Don’t cry because it will embarrass us, our mom or dad or friend.
Don’t cry because you’re ugly when you cry
Don’t cry because it’s too vulnerable

 
Wherever you are on this spectrum of crying, today’s spark
question is asking that you take a look at when and why you cry.

If you discover other people’s voices stuck in your thoughts – cast them out!  Command that these thoughts/beliefs no longer have a place in your mind.

If you discover that it’s scary to cry, to express
vulnerability and deep emotion then be kind, compassionate and sit in the awareness.  Let your inner truth speak and see if you can uncover the truth and allow it a space within you.
 
Crying is a natural expression of the body.  Tears help remove things (dust, eyelash) from our eyes.  Could tears also be a way to remove energy or stuckness from our body?
