Tears speak for themselves
by Paulo Coelho on February 2, 2013
“Our great goal in life is to love.
The rest is silence.
We need to love. Even when it leads us to the land where the lakes are made of tears, to that secret, mysterious place, the land of tears!
Tears speak for themselves. And when we feel that we have cried all we needed to cry, they still continue to flow. But when we believe that our life is destined to be a long walk through the Vale of Sorrows, the tears suddenly vanish.
Because we managed to keep our heart open, despite the pain.
Because we realised that the person who left us did not take the sun with them or leave darkness in their place. They simply left, and with every farewell comes a hidden hope.
It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”

Johnny Cash & June Carter: Eternal Lovers
To me Johnny Cash and June Carter illustrate what love is.
Someone that is home to your soul.
{More posts about their love in the future…}

Paulo Coelho manages to capture the essence of love.
“Our great goal in life is to love.
The rest is silence.”
Tears are cathartic.
They help us to cleanse and heal.
Paulo Coelho reminds us of the need to cry in order to heal and open our hearts again.

Here is a song that makes me cry…
Please enjoy Tragedy by Hayden.
Hayden is a soulful Canadian artist.
This achingly beautiful song is from his album Everything I Long For.
I highly recommend it.
I am so grateful that it was given to me as a gift.
What a gift it is to listen to it.

“Broken bottle won’t hurt me
Nothing worse that I have dreamed
Gun shot in my chest you’ll leave
I can take that you will see
Late at night is when I dream
Horrible things are what I see
Hard for me to believe
I wake up and I won’t freeze
Car crash highway tragedy
Nothing worse than I have dreamed
Loss of my best friend I grieve
I can take that you will see.”
