I have an idea. I know this is the place where folks come to give voice to their sadness and lets keep that option intact. But why don't we add another option? Let's leave a token for all the times we came here to curl up in the dark.
Come here from time to time and leave a candle burning for someone when you aren't struggling with sadness. Post words for the sad ones to find like a message in a bottle. A quote, some words of wisdom, just a small breath of something that might make the darkness more than just dark.

I recently watched Oprah Winfrey interview Cicely Tyson. Oprah asked her about the scene in Roots in which her character's son was taken away and she was howling with the pain of grief. Cicely said she used her own life experiences to channel her emotions for that particular scene. Cicely went on to say that the "bad" times in her life turned out to be the best times of her life because those "bad" times were moments of insight, growth, depth.
Of course, Cicely spoke her words much more eloquently than I wrote them. Still, they seemed appropriate for this thread. When I think back on my life, on those times in the dark under the stairs, well... there was always a light switch. Sometimes it took me awhile to find it. Other times, folks cut it on for me. The darkness was always illuminated.
Hope, sweet hope!
Love, Jo
Look up at the sky. Ask yourself, "Has the sheep eaten the flower or not?" And you'll see how everything changes.
And no grown-up will ever understand how such a thing could be so important!
