What if, in your heart, you know that sorrow is a sane
response to the human condition of confusion and suffering?

Everything in nature has a function, and depression’s function is to
dissolve the sense of isolation and the unnecessary defenses.

We
all know that when sorrow fills us, there is no escape. The depths of
sorrow each one of us has experienced is so great. For some of us,
there are circumstances that appear to cause sorrow and sustain it. And
yet for others, we cannot trace it back to an event.

In both cases, if we feel it deeply, it is too large to be ours alone.

For a moment, don’t touch the narrative of sorrow and notice its fathomless depths. What does this reveal?

Have you ever wondered how we have the capacity to feel so deeply?

. . . In our
innocence, we listen to thought’s interpretation of who we are and what
is happening in our life. And yet in the background, there is a
presence of such intelligence and wisdom that is already carrying the
life we call ours.
