sorrow and joy : personal

"Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house,
so new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough
of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up
the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath them have room to grow.
Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place."

Rumi
