words of comfort

[dolf]

have you ever read something that made you sigh with relief,
somthing that soothed places you hadn't even realised were hurting?

And a woman spoke, saying, "Tell us of Pain." And he said: Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, "Joy is greater thar sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater." But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits, alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced. When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.

Lets see, the last words my father spoke to me in this life (1969) were, YOU WERE RIGHT. Those 3 words healed years of acrimony and anguish.

Your sadness, your anger will not solve the problem. More sadness, more frustration only brings more suffering for yourself, ... No matter how tragic the situation, we should not lose hope.

ps. you people suck.

words ring hollow when a gesture or a touch says so much more, yet even these fail to bring the relief a timely double cheese, extra mushroom pizza brings in times of sorrow. . .

It seems to be pointless to mask your identity at this point since we've all seen your face. And you just know that vette has it right click saved. Oh the horror.

[sweepthefloor]

There is no relief, except the occasional: It's going to be alright.

 

[IndieSnob]

It's OK, many lesser women we're intimidated by my balls. Just keep on sucking on them and all will be OK.
