I was down the other day. Nothing awful or life threatening, just in a funk, from this that and the other. I meditated a bit, and ended up complaining in my journal about it. I got this response:

We hear your pain. We can relate to it. It is simply pain. You know not to hold onto it or push it away. Know it as temporary, empty of self, and unsatisfactory. What else can you do? Weep for the human part of you that cannot accept the way things are. But you also have that within you that allows unimpeded connection to the divine. Which do you focus on? Both parts at the same time, because they are both divine. “Always remember that everything is God.”
