the things you find on Google.
Spring and Fall, to a Young Child
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins
I was googling a topic tonight, and came across this entertaining article on how actors cry on cue. As I followed the rabbit trail, I came across this amazing poem, that helped me put to words what I had a hard time expressing. This relates to my earlier blog about the power of the arts to help you connect yourself to your emotion; which is the essence of what makes you human.
Isn't it neat how the body reacts to a deep felt emotion? Whether its excitement, or joy. or even mourning and rejection. your body provides your mind a physiological way to express your emotions. makes you wonder how important it is to talk about and express your emotions, don't it?
When you feel like you need a bawl session...what are some your personal tips that helps you really sob hard? Maybe I can collate them and send them in for another installment of "Crying On Cue".
*now listening to "Narrow Daylight" by Diana Krall*
Margaret, are you grieving
Over Goldengrove unleaving?
Leaves, like the things of man, you
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
Ah! as the heart grows older
It will come to such sights colder
By and by, nor spare a sigh
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
And yet you will weep and know why.
Now no matter, child, the name:
Sorrow's springs are the same.
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
What heart heard of, ghost guessed:
It is the blight man was born for,
It is Margaret you mourn for.

Lovely poem, lovely music! Check out Ritchie Beirach for some very emotional piano jazz sometime.
Cry movies...most every girl has one and guys don't seem to see the point...but sometimes you just gotta cry. It's an emotional release that at the end of it all you just feel rejuvinated in a way. We discuss this a lot at school, due to circumstances we sometimes need to hold back our tears until a more convenient time comes to let them out. However, sometimes that time comes and goes and you just can't let it out and so you go on trying desperately to either cry or fight the battle that's going on within you to move on. So you find a trigger something that has never failed to at least get you to shed a tear. Once that trigger is found it becomes your bestfriend because it is the key to moving on.
This tactic isn't so much "crying on cue" because to me, atleast, that means that there is no meaning behind your tears. However, this tactic is a key to the wardrobe of your emotion allowing you to "clean the closet" instead of letting all the "clothes" build up over time until they are out of date and you dread to look at them...(possibly an analogy that only I understand...very full closet at the moment)
Wow, that comment became a blog...hope everything is going great for you and you're enjoying this downtime before you head out. Hopefully, you are having enriching experiences that you can use in the year to come.
Marie - you are so right on! Holding on to tears until sometime more convenient just makes them build up to something bigger and badder. It seems no bad how something is, you always feel better after a big cry. My favorite cry movie is The Last of the Mohicans =)
yeah... i think im the Queen of holding back tears...so much so that it affects my demeanour and way of life. I'm slowly learning that crying is ok.
it's a language expressed when no other words will do. strangely enough, the body knows to "speak" when necessary.
then you get make up all over your face and you look like a clown, but you feel better :)
