Oh what a strange world we live in. I admire people who can cry, I find it
so hard. I wimped out of publicly sharing the reply to the poll, just not
ready and certainly not that courageous - yet. I know why I find it hard to
cry, conditioned respose. The adults around me as I was growing found the
appearance of tears an affront to the British 'stiff uper lip', to show any
feelings was seen as some sort of failure of moral fiber. To let a tear fall
was the occaision of being given something to cry for, a beating. And the
strikes would continue until the tears stopped. But knowing why it's hard to
cry dosen't make it any easier. Now when a memory surfaces I try hard to
hold and comfort my younger self and cry the tears that belong to a previous
time, sort of like catching up. So I wrap my arms around myself, and rock
myself gently and weep what feels like an unshed ocean and pray for healing.
And I salute all who ever and where ever and when ever find themselves doing
the same.
With love
Lynda
