Blackness


In depression . . . faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the foreknowledge that no remedy will come -- not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. . . . It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.

Timely. I've described what a friend is going through in almost those same words...and I'm close enough to feel the darkness.

I'm hoping this is artistic expression and not a picture of your life, dear friend.
