M. Scott Peck, author of the Road Less Traveled wrote of depression that depression is a gift, even though it doesn't feel like one. It means that our subconscious recognizes that we need to move on, make changes, do things differently. Our conscious mind doesn't realize or accept the need for this new reality, so it rebels and depression is the result. If one can see depression in this light and look inside for the new reality, the depression can lift and the person can let go of the old and move into a new beginning.Maria von Trapp said that when God closes a door, He opens a window. Sometimes you have to be patient and prayerful before you find the window.
