Something today reminded me of an analogy I had once read by Simone Weil. Joy and sorrow are like two sentences painted on a wall in different colors. Most people do not know how to read the language it is written in, and so only notice the difference in colors. Those who can read it, know that both sentences say the same thing.

Keep hope alive.
Dare to trust.
Surrender to grace.
··· Reflect love. ···
Gravitate to humility.
Pray always.
All is gift.
