“Suffering is not holding you. You are holding suffering. When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you’ll come to realize how unnecessary it was for you to drag those burdens around with you. You’ll see that no one else other than you was responsible. The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival.”

“What is your hidden story?
What trials don’t you tell?
What inner woe and wounds
Do you keep buried oh so well?
What are the shielded secrets
That gloss your weary eyes?
What unseen dread and pain
Do you keep shrouded in disguise?
Blind to your shackled burdens,
I cannot see your fears.
But written on your soul
I sense a story penned in tears.
I’d pay the price to read it,
To learn whereby you weep.
To comprehend, I swear
Your burning secrets I would keep.
What is your hidden story?
What trials don’t you tell?
What cost in woe and wounds
For me to know you oh so well?”

“A man once made it a reproach that I should be so happy, and told me everybody has crosses, and that we live in a vale of woe. I mentioned moles as my principal cross, and pointed to the huge black mounds with which they had decorated the tennis–court, but I could not agree to the vale of woe, and could not be shaken in my belief that the world is a dear and lovely place, with everything in it to make us happy so long as we walk humbly and diet ourselves. He pointed out that sorrow and sickness were sure to come, and seemed quite angry with me when I suggested that they too could be borne perhaps with cheerfulness. ‘And have not even such things their sunny side?â€� I exclaimed. ‘When I am steeped to the lips in diseases and doctors, I shall at least have something to talk about that interests my women friends, and need not sit as I do now wondering what I shall say next and wishing they would go.â€� He replied that all around me lay misery, sin, and suffering, and that every person not absolutely blinded by selfishness must be aware of it and must realise the seriousness and tragedy of existence. I asked him whether my being miserable and discontented would help any one or make him less wretched; and he said that we all had to take up our burdens. I assured him I would not shrink from mine, though I felt secretly ashamed of it when I remembered that it was only moles, and he went away with a grave face and a shaking head, back to his wife and his eleven children. I heard soon afterwards that a twelfth baby had been born and his wife had died, and in dying had turned her face with a quite unaccountable impatience away from him and to the wall; and the rumour of his piety reached even into my garden, and how he had said, as he closed her eyes, ‘It is the Will of God.â€� He was a missionary.”

“Then let me advise you to take up your little burdens again; for though they seem heavy sometimes, they are good for us, and lighten as we learn to carry them. Work is wholesome, and there is plenty for everyone; it keeps us from ennui and mischief, is good for health and spirits, and gives us a sense of power and independence better than money or fashion.”

“The choices that we have made created most of the burdens that we bear. And it is not until our burdens have begun to break us that we begin to understand that we have never stood more than one choice away from being freed from every single one of them. And that dynamic perfectly illustrates the stubbornness of man as held against the love of God.”

“This all makes me think about how often blessings are just burdens in disguise. It reminds me of how gifts always come at a cost â€� how everything great is terrible.”

“Besides, finding out something like that would have killed my mother."
And then Jessie had known she was going to explode if she didn't get out of there. So she had gotten up, springing out of her chair so fast she had almost knocked the ugly, bulky thing over. She had sprinted from the room, knowing they were all looking at her, not caring. What they thought didn't matter. What mattered was that the sun had gone out, the very sun itself, and if she told, her story would be disbelieved only if God was good. If God was in a bad mood, Jessie would be believed... and even if it didn't kill her mother, it would blow the family apart like a stick of dynamite in a rotten pumpkin.”

“I do not like to see you suffer. I vowed to protect you, but I fear the one thing I can't protect you from are the sorrowful things that seemed to have gripped your heart. At the very least, maybe I can take on some of the burdens of these thoughts, but only if you talk to me.”

“No, he was angry because he wanted to help more, and he couldn't. Knowing that all you can give isn't enough is its own burden. That was all.”

“Even the mother earth is burdened and is keen to shed us off. It wants to breathe; we are choking it, strangling it. Before it explodes, we must do something to unburden it. I'm looking at the larger picture.”

“But I can't talk to her because she's going through hell and she doesn't need to hear me ranting about a vase. But that happens sometimes, Rose, you want to talk about stuff but you can't because your friends are going through things--real things, painful things-- and you can't talk to them because your stuff doesn't feel as important as theirs.”

“Our burdens sometimes seem unbearable. Rarely do we see that each burden, small or large, is an invitation to turn to the Savior. But each burden is precisely that: an invitation to seek Christ’s help. He will—if we will permit it—exchange burdens with us. “My burden,â€� He promises, “is light.â€� If we dare to make the exchange, we slowly discover that His burden isn’t heavy. As we surrender the oppressions and wrongs done to us, our flaws, weaknesses, sins, sorrows, and failures to this Willing and Able Bearer of Burdens, we discover that He is also the Great Transformer. Though His atonement, Jesus Christ transforms our heaviest burdens into our greatest blessings. He re-makes us into women and men who are not undone by burdens. He re-makes us into men and women who become capable of carrying our burdens without complaint; even cheerfully. Then, in the moment when His light illuminates what He has done for us, He gently invites us to go and do likewise: to take on the burdens of others and to tell them of the One Whose Burdens are Light; of the One Whose Light Reveals Truth.”

“It's the last sorry that breaks me. He's said a few times, but this one finally sinks in. I've gotten so used to apologizing for being too weak to carry my own burdens â€� I don't know if anyone's ever apologized to me for how heavy they are, even if they couldn't do anything to lighten the load.”

“He looked at her for a long moment, his gaze probing, yet kind, compassion etched into his features as he seemed to contemplate the weight of her words. When he spoke, his words were measured, gentle…and reassuring. “You don’t have to carry this alone, Violet.”

“She hadn’t thought it could be an option to live without the pain she carried on a daily basis. She shook her head and cut off her train of thought. It was too much to think about, and she would much rather leave those memories buried deep inside, walled within her emotional fortress. It hurt less that way.”

“With her left hand, Herself clumsily tucked the shells into her nightgown and straightened them, each cuntshell wrapped in its cradle of braided lavender or gray or black cotton thread now touching her skin. Herself had told Donkey that each shell was a woman's life saved at great cost, and she needed to keep the shells warm and safe while she lived, giving these souls their time in the world. Baba Rose had had over a hundred shells on her necklace when she'd finally been unable to get out of bed under the burden. Every time Herself told the story of how Baba Rose died, there was another cause, and Donkey had to assume that the ghost whose fire had warmed their cottage for so many years had died of all of it, of everything.”
