Sometimes our sorrow overwhelms us so much that we no longer can
believe in joy. Life just seems a cup filled to the brim with war,
violence, rejection, loneliness, and endless disappointments.
At times like this we need our friends to remind us that crushed grapes
can produce tasty wine. It might be hard for us to trust that any joy
can come from our sorrow, but when we start taking steps in the
direction of our friends' advice, even when we ourselves are not yet
able to feel the truth of what they say, the joy that seemed to be lost
may be found again and our sorrow may become livable. - Henri Nouwen
