Poem: The Shedding of Tears
It is human nature to feel pain
The discourse between body, mind and soul is intense
The body chooses to feel instant pain from the thorns of life
Not accustomed to algorithms of logic and complexities
The body tells you immediately that you have encountered pain
Through a network of nerve fibres, the body is always on guard
The reflex arc is primed to act immediately
To notify you of any source of pain
The mind is stubborn, willing to endure much suffering
Only to choose the path of recklessness
Trying to heal itself with the carelessness of logic
The mind will lead you down the path of alcohol intoxication, drug abuse and all other forms of abuse or self-mutilations or self-hate
Or sometimes even worse, the mind will take you to the abyss of depression and suicide
The Soul chooses the path of sorrow, shedding tears seem unreasonable and illogical
But the soul knows many secrets of the Unknown
Summoning God is not by a wand of magic but by an act of humility and love
The shedding of tears symbolizes the most humble state of being
When the body, mind and soul are at its most vulnerable state
Yet, it is one of the most powerful state of being
It is the loosening of all guards, the discarding of logic and ego
That summons the Spirit of God to bring comfort to the sorrowful
And healing to the grieved
Let us learn to embrace our being and be the supreme seat of God
It is only through the loosening of tensions (calmness/stillness)
And the rejection of ego (or control) that we will allow God’s hand into our situations and circumstances
We are sacred beings that are forever in the presence of God
We just need to allow ourselves to be available to Him
So that He can care for us, nourish our souls and brighten our spirit
It is the mission of God to give us life and life in abundance
God is Love
