Madeleine L'Engle Quote
Pain is a partner I did not request;This is a dance I did not ask to join;whirled in a waltz when I would stop and rest,Jolted and jerked, I ache in bone and loin.Pain strives to hold me close in his embrace;If I resist and try to pull awayHis grasp grows tighter; closer comes his face;hotter his breath. If he is here to stayThen must I learn to dance this painful dance,Move to its rhythm, keep my lagging feetIn time with his. Thus have I a chanceTo work with pain, and so may pain defeat.Pain is my partner. If I dance with painThen may this wedlock be not loss but gain.
