“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

- Mary Oliver

I have little repose or response for such candid and heartfelt disclosure, other than the words of Friedrich Nietzsche:

"What does not kill me, makes me stronger."

Thank you for such honesty, it meant a lot, and gave pause for thought, an act there is oft less time for with every passing day in these times, and more's the pity;

"In sic transit gloria mundi."
