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 field

And you would watch with serenity through the winters

of your grief.

Much of your pain is self chosen.

It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you

heals your sick self.

Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in

silence. and tranquillity;

For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the

tender hand of the Unseen,

And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has

been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has

moistened with His own sacred tears.

KAHLIL GiBRAN, The Prophet
