Joy is your sorrow unmasked.

And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?

And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

To Look beyond the ordinary

To notice what's deep inside your soul

Not just the obvious pieces

But to comprehend the whole

To understand the reasons why

Not judge what seems to be

To glimpse the view from your perspective

Let this be the way I see

To perceive beauty in spite of flaws

From distant stars comes light

Vision is to see beyond what's wrong

And to cherish all that's right
