A Blessing for Darkness

Thank you for this grief, I now know the depth of my love.

Thank you for this failure, I now see the path of mastery.

Thank you for this loneliness, I now feel the warmth of belonging.

Thank you for this hatred, I now sense how much I care.

Thank you for this violence, I now sit in the stillness of peace.

Thank you for this suffering, I now grasp how high my spirit can soar.

Thank you for this darkness, I now glimpse the clarity of light.
