Sit with Sadness

Can you tell the difference between the weeds and the flowers in my back yard? The weeds are blossoming along with hydrangia, tiger lilies, and salvia.

Rumi wrote:

"Don't sit with a sad person,
Only sit with those who are sweet and kind-hearted.
When you've entered a beautiful garden
Why spend your time with the weeds ? 
Stay with the jasmine and the jonquil. "

I reply:

Sit with sadness.
Sit among shadows and weeds.
Sit with the abandoned kitten
so that you become sunlight, 
you become the rose, 
you become milk.
