If the thought of sorrow spoils your joy,

yet it prepares you for joy.

Sorrow sweeps the house fiercely, emptying

it of everything, then, coming from the Source

of goodness, a new joy enters.

Sorrow chases away the withered leaves in the

heart, then new green leaves can grow.

Sorrow uproots the previous joy, then a new

delight springs from beyond.

 

- Rumi
