And a woman spoke, saying,
Tell us of Pain.
And he said:
"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that
encloses your understanding.............
.............much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician
within you heals your sick self.
Therefore, trust the physician, and drink his
remedy in silence and tranquility,
For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided
by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings,
though it burns your lips,
has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter
has moistened with His own sacred tears."
~ The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran, "On Pain" ~
