I’ve always found tremendous comfort in the proverb “the darkest night precedes the dawn” because I enjoy writing about sorrow. If you are brave enough to look beyond the pain and the suffering, sadness possesses a delicate beauty that I find very comfortable to live in for long periods of time.
Too often sadness is cloaked in ugliness or pity, when really the focus should be on the dignity, poise, and divine timeliness of sorrow. When one does that, sadness becomes quite poetic.
