Aurora aurora aurora......

Can anyone tell me why this would make me want to cry?
spaceweather

Shifts in our magnetic field....
almost seeing,remembering something...too quick glimpses of memory....flickering in my deep mind...
something so...indescribable...like whispers calling me...
and my chest aches so

yeah...

it synched up with a lot of things for me. went out side after a (sad) brush with the divine and the sky was dancing bright green right above my room. so i knew everything was ok then.

I think that there is a very real link between the experience of beauty and sadness. I think beauty touches something tender and fragile within us. And perhaps there is something about it that makes us know how tender, fragile, and temporary the experience of beauty is, how with every birth we are witnessing a death in the making.

When my nephew reached a certain age, I freaked out because I saw how beautiful and innocent he was and at the same time how the innocence and beauty were going to be harmed, inevitably, by the world.

There was a period, while he was staying with my family, when I had to excuse myself, go up to my room again and again, to hopelessly and hopefully cry my eyes out.

To be human, to experience life with an open heart is a tragic and wonderful thing.

Maybe the Buddhists are right? Maybe the heart was made to be broken? Maybe with each heartbreak, if we can let go of attachments, a layer of the heart is broken off, and we end up feeling deeper, having more compassion?

I really don't know.

I cherish moments that make me cry like that. Cartoons even do it now. Heh. It makes me feel alive.

Its strange how this developed in me over the years, because I used to not feel much of anything ... and I used to be much more coldly rational. I guess you got to give up something to get something sometimes.
