One of Karen's favorite quotes is:"Yesterday, I cried.
I came home, went straight to my room, sat on the edge of my bed, kicked off my shoes, unhooked my bra, and I had myself a good cry.
I'm telling you,
I cried until my nose was running al over the silk blouse I got on sale
I cried until my ears were hot.
I cried until my head was hurting so bad that I could hardly see the pile of soiled tissues lying on the floor at my feet.
I want you to understand I had myself a really good cry yesterday.
Yesterday, I cried for all the days that I was too busy or too damned tired, or too damned mad only to have mad to cry.
I cried for all the days, and all the ways and all the times I had dishonored, disrespected and disconnected by Self from myself, only to have it reflected back to me in the ways others did to me.
The same hings I had...Expand for more
already done to myself.
I cried for all the things I had given, only to have them stolen;
for all the things I had asked for that I had wanted to show up; for all the things I had accomplished, only to give them away, to people in circumstances, which left me feeling empty and battered and plain old used.
I cried because there really does come a time when the only thing left for you to do is cry.
Yesterday, I cried.
I cried because little boys were left by their faher;
and little girls get forgotten by their mothers,
and fathers don't know what to do, and they leave and mothers get left, so they get mad.
I cried because I had a little boy, and because I was a little girl and because I was a mother who didn't know what to do, and because I wanted my father to be there for me so badly until I ached.
Ysterday, I cried.
I cried because I hurt, I cried because I was hurt.
I cried because hurt has no place to go except deeper into the pain that caused it the first place and when it gets there, the hurt wakes you up.
I cried becaue it was too late, I cried because it was time.
I cried because my soul knew that I didn't know that my soul knew everything I needed to know.
I cried a soulful cry yesterday, and it felt good.
It felt s very very bad.
In the midst of my crying, I felt my freedom coming, because;
Yesterday, I cried
without an agenda.".
