beginning of riches, the end of frustration and the beginning of fulfilment,
the end of fear and the beginning of tranquillity, the end of pain and the
beginning of joy, the end of weakness and the beginning of strength.

Let not grief overwhelm us, or sense of loss embitter us, but out of our
sadness let there arise a new joy for so much is given to us, cast out our fears
and let not our hearts be troubled.
