"Pain is the weakness leaving your body."

I heard this yesterday, struck a chord and wanted to document it before I forget it. For what ever reason, hearing this lifted the weight from my heart and my spirit. I keep rolling it over in my mind, letting the idea move through me instead of letting myself be consumed with the various area's of pain within my physical and emotional body at the moment.

It feels very empowering, like on the other side of this...I'll be stronger. I will have achieved something, it's not all for nothing or just for the sake of suffering. This period in my life is purposeful, sometimes I loose sight of that.
