Crying only a little bit
is no use.� You must cry
until your pillow is soaked!
Then you can get up and laugh,
Then you can jump in the shower
and splash-splash-splash!
Then you can throw open your
window and "Ha, ha! Ha, ha!"
And if people say, "Hey,
What's going on up there?"
"Ha ha!" sing back, "Happiness
was hiding in the last tear!
I wept it! Ha Ha."
-Galway Kinnell "Crying"
quoted p. 219, Yoga and the Quest for the True Self,� Stephen Cope
