&quot;Go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth.&quot;<br /> <br /> -Rainer Maria Rilke

That moment when you're crying so deeply
And you take that breath that you hold so dearly
Then you let it go as it turns into a soft soft weep
And you feel your whole body crumble beneath you

That is the moment when you are your very most vulnerable but your very most self

That is the moment you should cherish forever, for that moment is nothing but truth.

© Susannah B., Greenwich, CT

The author's comments:
To anyone that feels they mustn't cry for it is weak, to you I say that there is nothing weak about it. When you were a baby you would cry because that was your way of communicating, now I ask, at what point of time does it become weak? To me, crying is the most truth anyone can present, it presents what we cannot describe with words, it is pure truth and pure self.
