give your weakness..
to one who helps..
crying out loud and weeping are great resources..
a nursing mother..
all she does..
is wait to hear her child..
just a little beginning-whimper..
and she's there..
god created the child..
that is..
your wanting..
so that it might cry out..
so that milk might come..
cry out..
don't be stolid and silent..
with your pain...
lament..
and let the milk of loving flow into you..
the hard rain and wind..
are ways the cloud has..
to take care of us..
be patient..
respond to every call..
that excites your spirit..
ignore those that make you fearful..
and sad, that degrade you..
back toward disease and death..
