Tears

Tears 2026 – Souls Canvas – @carolinefk3.bsky.social

I think this image and the sentiment with it are exquisite.

We shed tears for lots of reasons. We cry when we’re happy, the emotion we’re feeling simply spilling out of our hearts and down our faces. We cry when we’re sad, when we can’t contain the grief and need a relief valve. We cry when we are worried or scared, trying to attain calm.

Whatever the reason for the tears, this message encourages us to USE these tears to move on, building for a better year ahead.

What seeds are we planting? I’m mentally picturing seed packets with “Resilience,” “Adaptability,” “Independence,” and more, hoping that we have learned lessons from 2025, see the need for some changes in 2026.

This is deeper than the common New Year’s Resolutions of losing weight, exercising more, eating right, cleaning out closets, etc. that we make and either keep or not as the year presses on.

When you plant a seed, you’re planning to harvest at some point, in the near future, as with lettuce, or for the long term, as in a willow tree. Choose carefully what you want from this. You’ll be cultivating the land, planting the seed, fertilizing it, weeding around it, watering it with your tears, nurturing it for a good amount of time.

Tears are more than just water. They are your heart and soul, plans and dreams, hope for the future.

We all cried in 2025. Choose carefully and bring new seeds to vibrant life!
