When we are born, our first breaths announce our arrival as cries. It is our first and perhaps most personal of communications. It is a default mode of communication. The truly universal language. The language we use and have before we learn the native tongue of our parents. Throughout our lives tears come at times when words fail, are inadequate, or are incapable. Grief. Pain. Loss. Anger. Sorrow. Happiness. Elation. Exhaustion. Crying produces tears which are physical manifestations of our feelings. Each tear a little vial of distilled emotion.

What soap is for the body, tears are for the soul. ~ Jewish Proverb

The little boy who cried wolf. He got eaten. Then the wolf popped a breath mint and headed into the woods for a chance encounter with Red Riding Hood. Just saying.
