A letter to a friend in gloom

Dear friend,

This letter is an exercise of mine and I thank you for reading it.

Melancholy  is sadness which infiltrates itself into your soul. It makes you wrapped, suffering, visiting an imaginary world that is lower, rougher. You walk back to a place where you have already been. This status is like the sunset, the outgoing tide, the night. At that time we lower our activities and patiently wait for the sunrise, the rising tide, the day.
But the gloom is something lesser than the  the sunset, the outgoing tide, the night. And it should take you much less patience to wait for it to pass. Because - look around and see - now it is sunrise, rising tide, the day is coming. See - you are going up! Remember there is One Who beloved you with an eternal love and wish to do for you things beyond what you want or think.
And thank melancholy for the happy moment of letting you see yourself from sidelong and finding out.
