Illustration for the tale From my tears I will do sweet water rivers

FROM MY TEARS I WILL DO SWEET WATER RIVERS

You cry when you laugh and when you yearn, you cry when you get angry and when you love, you cry when you don’t know why and when you can’t say so many things at once that you can only cry. You cry and release, and let go, and make room to breathe, and cry until you get clean and are born again.

And I want my tears to be sweet water, to make rivers of silent words, but full of meaning that others can drink them, and feel and understand my tears.

Let my tears be sweet, let them drink my sweet tears.
