 | | I have always had an assumption, perhaps as much false as true, that sadness makes for a particular kind of depth and beauty and that, like this minister who's describing his wife, this is something I'm called to be sufficient to, something that tests the meaning of what I say. |
 | | Sadness will always engraft itself into our intelligence and ultimately into our faces, but that can look very different in different persons, just as, inside of each of us, it can look quite different from season to season, day to day, hour to hour. |
 | | Habitual sadness, engrafted in a face, can look like a frown, a jealousy, a bitterness, a hardness, a menacing judgment, or it can look like an inviting depth, an ocean of character more deep, more inviting, and more beautiful than any genetic endowment. |
