But, one could ask, what about sorrow? We all know that there is sorrow in life. It comes to each of us in the loss of someone we love, in the loss of our power

Our bright and shining lives, our explosions of joy, good work, and love, are always silhouetted by the shadow of death. There are times when sorrow quickens and sharpens, towering and unavoidable, and times it recedes. But it remains the white noise of all of human experience.

At other times, you will find sorrow moving through you, like a dark mist over a landscape. This sorrow is dark enough to paralyse you.
