For some years now I have relished the moments when I am moved to tears by the wonders of the world and the genius of people. But in the last two weeks, some gigantic wave of tremendum seems to have burst onto the scene causing me to tear up multiple (10-20) times a day. So yesterday in a conversation with one of my buddies, who shares my love of genius, I mentioned this and she said it had been over the top for her too in the past two weeks. So I dropped a post into my timeline on Facebook to see who else might be experiencing this increase in being moved to tears and, much to my surprise, over 20 women replied yes in just 5 hours.
What is this? Why is this happening simultaneously to so many of us? Is it another wondrous level of awakening to the sheer brilliance of the world around us? Is it an enchantment cast upon us to take us to places as yet unknown? Is this an emergence of some kind of godness that dwells within us? Or perhaps the world's genii (film makers, actors, artists, musicians, poets, writers, etc.) shifting to a whole other level of play?
I believe it is all of these things.
I have for the past 20 years believed and taught that being moved to tears is a transformative and sometimes epiphanous experience. This burst of emotive rush awakens our senses to new heights, elevates our being to new frequencies and, most importantly, activates the quantum field of possibilities that dwells all around us. It is this tremendum of tears that opens us to new worlds and offers us the power to remake the world as we know it. Because in that emotive rush lies our deep connection with Life. In that epiphanous moment of understanding comes our ability to supercede the ordinary. In that wondrous instance of feeling resides the us we are yearning to become.
So I for one am glad to join the forces of emotive tear'ers and every time I do this now, I will know that I am not alone in my experience, that I am joined by sisters (and probably loads of great brothers too) all across the world who are welcoming us all into a new world of wonder and a new consciousness of genius connection. Cry on beautiful beings, cry on. It's a wondrous thing we do.
