Sorrow



"There is an alchemy in sorrow.  It can be transmuted into wisdom, which, if it does not bring joy, can yet bring happiness."
                                                                                                                  Pearl Buck

OMG, Mary. That's magnificent. The quote is definitely being added to my list of favourites and the photo is absolutely profound. My jaw is on the ground, here.
