"The tips of bamboo leaves produce small drops of water that fall on the ground around the plant so that the new culms that emerge each springtime can push more easily through the dirt? Tears serve the same purpose: our tears of gratitude, joy, loss, and sorrow prepare the way for deeper, more intense, and blissful experience to push through the daily often deadening routines of Life."
From my "The Garden: Perennial Reflections on Beginnings and Ends" Chapter 44 Tears
