You feel the tears filling your eyes.
You don’t try to stop them.
You just let them come.
Then you notice how everything shimmers
just before they begin to spill from your eyes,
one by one
and how they cling to your eyelashes.
You can feel each individual tear fall.
If you pay are paying attention, you will feel the tears begin to cool
as they flow slowly down your cheeks.
You feel how cool the back of your fingers are against your face
as you wipe the tears away
You watch your thoughts spin out of control and then grow calmer
while your heart constricts then relaxes
You notice your breathing getting deeper
as you calm down.
If you cry mindfully
You notice everything more
and then you let it go.
