“It is not possible to complete yourself
without sorrow.
Sorrow is the vital ingredient that shapes
the heart and enriches it.
So endure sadness the best you can
when its season comes.
That rain that can fall from your eye
brings life to a field,
and on other days when you laugh,
a sun takes birth in a sky you will
someday know.
See how all the elements are inside of
you.
See how your soul is a sire of light.”
