Understanding through suffering.
Jun. 5th, 2003 12:13 pm"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding."
~ Kahlil Gibran
"When the heart weeps for what it has lost, the spirit laughs for what it has found."
~ Sufi saying
"You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving.
Well then, love your suffering.
Do not resist it, do not flee from it.
It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else."
~ Herman Hesse
"We are healed of suffering only by experiencing it to the full."
~ Marcel Proust
