Help me, O God.
Give me the courage to cry.
Help me to understand that tears bring
freshly washed colors arching across the soul,
colors that wouldn't be there apart from the rain.
Help me to see in the prism of my tears,
something of the secret of who I am.
Give me the courage
not only to see what those tears are revealing
but to follow where they are leading.
And help me to see,
somewhere over the rainbow,
that where they are leading me is home...
(A beautiful prayer by Ken Gire)

Hello Clif,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and encouraging words. I dont have a religious background but find myself drawn to your blog each day to read what you have added. Thank you again.

Thanks for sharing this prayer today. God bless you.
Aloha Clif,
I didn't get a chance to make my Sunday rounds so I had to catch up with everyone's posts today. What a beautiful prayer, it is so heartfelt. I always say tears cleanses the soul and it's okay!! The scripture that comforts me says.. Weeping may endure for the night, but JOY cometh in the morning!!
Blessings Lorie
I'm really enjoying your posts, Clif. I may not get to them on Sunday, but they make for nice meditation during the week.
Have a grand and glorious day!
