Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment

Summary

This quote highlights the transformative nature of separation. It suggests that when someone is separated, it becomes a profound experience for them, almost like a pigment that seeps into their being. However, rather than invoking feelings of darkness or sadness, this separation fills them with a subtle and gentle radiance. It implies that separation can bring forth a new sense of luminosity or enlightenment, even amidst the pain or loss it may entail.
