How grief affects the living
Grief digs a hole in us, it creates a well that’s as deep as the ocean but usually has a bottom. It can be filled with an ocean of tears or a swirling vortex. For me it’s a dark calm pool that enhances life, and to feel things deeply is a beautiful gift. It allows us to connect with something bigger that is beyond our comprehension but none the less is shown to be real.
Grief can sharpen our today,
not blunt our tomorrows.
Help us recognise the greater force,
not lead a life full of sorrows.
There is a flow of energy all around, connecting and grounding us. We are so wrapped up in the noise of our manufactured lives that we need to be taken to extremes to be awakened to it. We should learn to let things happen in life, follow the ebb and flow, watch the cycles and feel the harmony, following nature’s examples. Life is the coexistence of opposites including joy and sorrow, these opposites are meant to flow together, one embracing the other.
