A Secret Cry

There is a secret cry inside every heart, sometimes so deeply hidden that it may not even be audible to the person who hides it. Whether they are complete strangers or someone you think you have known all your life, if you can hear a person’s secret cry then all your defenses and criticisms crumble. You become one with them and you cannot do anything other than love them as yourself.

    this is simply beautiful…and made me think:

    what if it’s your *own* secret cry?

  3. Natalie Says:

    zenchick, that’s exactly what was on my mind when I wrote the above. If we can’t hear our own secret cry maybe that’s what makes us deaf to other people’s?
