Good for you, Catherine. There's nothing like a good cry. We all deserve it now and then.
It's interesting to me that we humans don't understand that we are equipped with tears for a good reason, to release toxins produced from emotion.
We wouldn't consider trying to stop urinating, right? Yet tears residing just a few floors up in our bodies, receive such little respect. One day our culture will celebrate their worth.
Thanks for this lovely post, and for reminding others about the benefit of a good cry. 🤎🤎🤎
How funny.. "tears residing just a few floors up" I love how this image makes me think about how normal bodily functions are categorized...and shamed, too.
"Jungian analyst James Hollis offers a torch for turning the perilous darkness of the middle into a pyre of profound transformation — an opportunity, both beautiful and terrifying, to reimagine the patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior acquired in the course of adapting to life’s traumas and demands, and finally inhabit the authentic self beneath the costume of this provisional personality.

It is such a marvelous time, yet such a muddle and mess, but in such chaos, Catherine, you put such words. Beautiful writing.
Shit Catherine. You and I just posted at the same time and practically about the same thing. Or certainly the same sentiments. It's like we're sharing a brain. As I say in my post today. I see you. 👀 xo

You are most welcome. I wish I had a pupper. Not yet.
