Appropriate to Cry...


I had planned on writing about turning our thoughts toward the sunlight, toward the positive. I was going to quote Louise Hay about taking seemingly negative situations and creating positive affirmations. So many people I know are going through personal challenges. We can always console ourselves and take hold of our thoughts by remembering that truth phrased by Louise Hay:

“All is well. 
Everything is working out for my highest good. 
Out of this situation only good will come and I am safe.”
- Louise Hay

Then David Bowie died. CNN quoted Tony Visconti saying, “For now, it is appropriate to cry…” I am reminded that sometimes, it’s most appropriate to cry – and that is okay.

"He always did what he wanted to do. And he wanted to do it his way and he wanted to do it the best way. His death was no different from his life - a work of Art. He made Blackstar for us, his parting gift. I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn't, however, prepared for it. He was an extraordinary man, full of love and life. He will always be with us. For now, it is appropriate to cry."
- Tony Visconti

The world says goodbye to an artistic and creative pioneer. I’m so thankful for those brave souls, who inspire and give us their hearts through their life’s work. They ignite our emotions through their contagious passion. We sing along, we dance, we might be moved to tears of sadness or to sheer joy, but we are allowed to feel using their creative works as a crutch.

Yes. It is most definitely appropriate to cry. It is ALWAYS alright for us to be human. May we always allow ourselves that.

Namaste,
