Wednesday - Thanks for Tears

Source of all blessings, you bless us with the blessing of tears -
tears of sorrow and tears of joy, 
tears of outrage and of overwhelming beauty. 
May i let them flow freely, especially the waters that rise up 
 when the ice of anger cracks and thaws in my heart,
 and the flood tides of an oceanic feeling deep in my heart 
that wash my eyes from within 
and make me gentle towards others.
