We can feel the duality of sorrow and hope because one propels the other. Like different faces of the same coin, our wisdom can be paid for in joy or pain and cost the same price.

Our truths can come to us in bittersweet epiphanies.

In double helix strands of plaited paradoxes.

My sadness in my heart, is also a torch of Love. The deeper the pain, the brighter the fire. They are one in the same.

Sorrow is a form of tenderness.

Sadness, can be our way to feel hope.

Loss is always a teacher.

And Love is always the lesson.
