We went to Cancun on vacation and visited Xclaret for day of the dead. It was lovely, but I had a really hard time getting around, almost falling several times.. if people had not rescued me I don't know what would have happened! So the day after I allowed myself to cry about my situation.. and it brought great peace.. The last line about "those who are blind" is about all those rushing around, almost knocking me down by being unobservant.
This Place of Tears
by Barb Berens
11.1.2013 in Cancun
I allowed myself to cry today
Just sat in it and refused to move
Until You carried me through it all
Because yesterday was hard
Moving this lump of a body
To see all the beauty around me
And those moving at the speed of light.
So I sat in Your presence
And let myself feel
The Sadness
The Disappointment
The Outrage
The Reality
Of moving this lump of a body
To see the beauty around me
And those who can’t stop.
Teach me to return
To this place of tears
So I can walk securely, or roll, or stumble
All in Your care
My ability, my dis-ability
Moving this lump of a body
To see all the beauty around me
Next to those who are blind.
