Some situations make us want to cry. It may reveal life-halting revelations. It may be moments of embarrassment. It may simply be something in the air.
Within me, tears unfold a tender part of myself that I keep carefully folded and tucked in safety. There's a certain vulnerability to emotion, an exposing of an energy that can overwhelm. This energy flows through my inspiration.
Tears bring me a heightened sense of inspiration with a touch of the solemn. The melancholy has a certain sweetness that livens up a more serious demeanor. Even in vulnerability there is balance.
