Kahlil Gibran wrote these words..
" The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. "
I think of those words every time it hurts and echoes and aches within the damp cool caves of my memory. My past is fuzzy, as I prefer to be here now. Memories often suprise me.
Sometimes all I can remember is that I made it through. I got out alive, and I learned how to never have to do it like that again. No. Not like that.
Other times I remember in vibrant color and detail, the way that I made the same painfully
obvious (in hindsight of course) mistakes again and again... wearing down a spiral path to the very same empty result, over and over again.
I remember the tears. Or at least a lot of them. I remember how their saline truth brought cool and soothing proof of my own regenerative power.

That is a beautiful quote, so full of hope.
Thanks for this wonderful quote and for sharing your deep grief and memories of pain with us.
What I've seen in both my personal work and with clients is that the deeper we can consciously allow ourselves to embrace our shadows the more joy is available, sort of a reflection of “As below, so above.”
Over the last few months Spirit has guided my work with clients to have them begin in embracing pleasure of being in their bodies and the higher they allow their pleasure, the softer the armoring is, requiring less pain to bring into consciousness that which is to be embraced with love, transmuted and released.
Much Love & Blessed Is,
Jeremiah
i really enjoyed reading this quote and your posting… it is the most amazing thing when your heart breaks open – you can't stop it from opening then… and, you spend the rest of your time making a cozy and warm nest about your heart for the rest of your life – just so that it can express itself. freedom.
The soul's contract, made under duress, must be rewritten, better terms must be spelled out in the cave of contracts. Mine was that I called the devil into being. I must release the devil, and know that all are free. love Anne
