Gifted Doorways

"Grief can be a doorway to love."
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

Grief can open toward gratitude
As loss can open doors to access gain

As trauma can open hearts
to therapeutic brains

As neglect can foster curious compassion

As depression
can incite active
co-empathic impressions

As double negative sociopathologies
can notice doorways
to positive psychologies

As double-binding
dualdark entropy
can open complex space
for positive double-binary energy strings
through co-empathic
multiculturing resilient time

As isolating sadness
can open doors
to love's transcendent gladness.
