Dear Sad Person,
I don't know where you go when you're 'there', but I do know that we miss you here.
It's been said that depression is anger in slow motion. So you must be
really angry. You must feel like an animal that is backed into a corner; in other
words...you're angry because you're scared. Someday I hope I can help you understand
the futility of fear. But for today I can stroke your head, and feed you broth, and let the sunshine warm your shoulders. I can love you unconditionally and wait. And wait. But what I can't do is promise you that I will never get frustrated while waiting. I am frustrated. Right now.
But more than anything...it's very important for you to know that no matter how bad things are in 'there', wherever there is, things out here are just fine. It's very safe out here and to be honest...quite lovely. In fact, life is so lovely and abundant out here, that the only thing that's missing is you.
So, whenever you're ready and whenever you're able...we're loving you...and waiting.
Sincerely,
The Waiting
