“Yet through depression we enter depths and in depths find soul. Depression is essential to the tragic sense of life… It brings refuge, limitation, focus, gravity, weight, and humble powerlessness. It reminds of death. The true revolution begins in the individual who can be true to his or her depression. Neither jerking oneself out of it, caught in cycles of hope and despair, nor suffering through it till it turns, nor theologizing it – but discovering the consciousness and depths it wants. So begins the revolution in behalf of soul.”
