I happened to pick up Kahlil Gibran's the Prophet at the library the other week. One of bits was really interesting.
"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears...
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."
When young Jasper went missing I was full of sorrow, but that is only because he has been and thankfully continues to be a delight. I feel a bit grateful thinking along this line when I think about sorrow; for it in turn means one has opened ones heart to things that matter.
