I refer to this book a lot this past year. I deeply believe every woman should read this book at least once. It’s helped me understand and recover from the deepest heartaches and pains on my journey.
I won’t go into much detail however, I specifically want to share about how she poetically describes tears in this post.
Starting somewhere on page 437, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes writes:
“Tears are wise expression:
1) Call spirits to your side
2) Repel those who muffle and bind the simple soul
3) Heal injuries of poor bargains made by humans
4) Mend energy leakages; they are your protection
5) Keeps away unhealthy desire or gain that will ruin her.
6) Melt the icy heart.”
Do with that information as you wish.
