The Uses of Sorrow

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.

I think this sums up the last 3 years.  I would like to incorporate it into a painting for our home because it touches both the brightest and the darkest parts of my life ; the connection between them all a fingertip's grace across my heart.
