i "feel like crying"  sometimes but i never cry.  I just don't  .    There is the feeling ,  rising up FULL,  my chest is full,  my eyes and nose kind of tingle,  don't know how to describe it,  but it is there,  but then,   there isn't tears.  I don't know why.  It's how i am.  i've always been that way.

but i am full.  of crying.  A crying of a Tenderness,  a love,  a sadness,  a wish for Hope…..stuff like that.  Stuff like that.

i don't even know if you can see her in this pic.   But,  it's a Journal,  and i will be able to remember.  If she gets a chance,  like the door is left open for a moment,  she goes out.  She's  care FUL L  on the metal steps,  there's 3 of them and then she just takes off.  Setting out.  In this pic,  her onsey is unsnapped and she reminds me of a Lightning  Bug    She took off to where her brother was giving Water to the Goats.  She s barefoot and a one year old steady on her legs,  but she goes FAST.    She fell once but got up fast and kept going.  A one year old girl child.

the guy who is sending bombs…his face,  plain….saying in a deposition some years back that he was owner of a cleaning business and a chipanddale dancer among other things,  and we need to read this stuff before we vote,  wondering how it works in to the All of it and then the people,  moving toward the border.  I would like to just sit and cry for a while.  Cleansing Tears.  Cry.  Cleansing Tears.  but i don't.  i can't.    and so i will lay me down tonight and sleep,  dream,  wake.  Go again.

    I am content knowing Mexico is offering a safe haven if they want to stay, school for their children, temporary jobs until they decide if they want to be permanent. It will be very bad when I see images of the military lined up on our border. He will probably want hundreds of tanks with guns pointing at the migrants. Our very own dictator.
    I have no problem crying–I do it several times a day. I would prefer to smile or laugh.

    I never saw my mother cry. Even when someone in her closest circle died, I never saw a tear. I asked her once, and she said “I do my crying in private. It’s just for me, not for sharing.” I admired that about her, even though it kept her distant at times that I would have liked to have cried with her.

    Crying is an extremely vulnerable state of being. Are you sure you want to feel that?

    I rarely cry. I have been a cryer at times but not now. I always get a headache anyway so better to now.
    I feel like it too.. what an awful time. I feel hopeless most of the time. I think it whenever I see the rallys and the people supporting him I feel more hopeless.

    I think….hopeless…i think that i have never been one much for Hope. I am more for what IS, how to Know it, How to find ways to Live. Not so much for hoping.
