"Today I Simply Suffer," a prose poem by César Vallejo

One of our group members was kind enough to pass on this gorgeous piece of writing, a poetic reflection on the nature of suffering.  When one is in the midst of suffering, it can be hard to find words to describe one's pain to someone who is not suffering and who wants to know the "why" and "how."  But the mystery of suffering is that often there is no why or how - it simply is.  Vallejo's poem beautifully captures this mystery.  I hope his words bring you a moment of grace.
