This is a selection from a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
For me this poem is all about growing older, getting through the dark days, knowing sunny days are coming and to accept that our life is not perfect. Being ‘blue’ is ok if you give it a time frame to experience it, then move on.
Overcoming depression
Be still, sad heart and cease repining Behind the clouds is the sun still shining Thy fate is the common fate of all Into each life some rain must fall Some days must be dark and dreary

One thing is for sure about the unperfectness of life…. if life is perfect, it would not have any meaning at all. How can we be happy if out emotions are set to “all happy” mode? How can we distinguish it from sadness if the feeling “sad” is alien to our hearts? This is the good side of having negative things in our life: it gives us a sense of appreciation and enjoyment when we are at the good side. ^^
Isn’t this very suitable for the season at the mnoment too? Sigh…summer is gone, here skies are darkening, cold wind is hitting and we only know what comes next… too much cold, no more time and chance to go out around and stuffs. But just be hapy, this is life and it is naturally to be down at times but not forever, right?
“Thy fate is the common fate of all
Into each life some rain must fall”
I love that part and that is indeed the truth.
The sun will come.
The happiness will come.
Rainy days is only a single part.
But sunny and great days are there as well.
Great, isn’t it?
