Notations From the Grid (Special Weekly Edition): On Crying & The Heart On this Season of Lent



Please enjoy these thoughts on this season of Lent:
There is a sacredness in tears. 
They are not the mark of weakness,
but of power.
They speak more eloquently
than ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers of
overwhelming grief ...
and unspeakable love.
- Washington Irving

Tears are the summer showers to the soul.
- Alfred Austin

The dew of compassion is a tear.
- Lord Byron 

Time engraves our faces with all the tears we have not shed.
- Natalie Clifford Barney

Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart,
don't know how to laugh either
- Golda Meir

The bitterest tears shed over graves
are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
- Harriet Beecher Stowe





God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail.
- Saint Augustine

This is the day which the Lord has made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
- Psalms 118:24

Patience, persistence, and perseverance.
A little more each day, a little better each day.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

The winds of grace are always blowing;
all we need to do is raise our sails.
- Anonymous
