Rights of passage



It is your right of passage to understand the feeling of sadness and loss…
for without, it is said, “you will be a lesser person of worth”?
It is your right of passage to go through pain and hardship…
for without, it is said, “you will never understand the true hunger to
be free of pain”?
It is your right of passage to misunderstand that life could be so
very much better for us all… without sadness, loss, hardship and pain.
And it is your right of passage that one day you will understand why
you see that strange person looking back at you in the mirror?
