'Despair is a necessary and seasonal state of repair,

a temporary healing absence, an internal and psychological winter

 when our previous forms of participation in the world take a rest; 

it is a loss of horizon, 

it is the place we go when we 

do not want to be found in the same way anymore....'

~ David Whyte, Consolations, from Despair, p. 53-54 ~

Side By Side

'Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings

if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible
for each to see the other whole against the sky.'

 ~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~
