Sorrow
SURRENDERING
OUR
BY MARIANNE WILLIAMSON
A
ll of us yearn for happiness and
love, and sometimes we find it. Yet
most of us are visited at some point
by sorrow as well. A relationship, a
job, a particular circumstance brought
us happiness—but then something
went wrong. At other times, we can’t
put our finger on why, but we feel no
happiness and we feel no love.
Life, in fact, is not always easy, and
dwelling gracefully within the space
of deep sorrow can be very hard.
Emotional torment, overwhelming
grief, physical agony, screams from the
very depths of our souls—why is such
suffering a part of our experience?
What does it mean? And how can we
survive it and even transcend it?
