The World Grieves
All of us are drawn into places we never thought we’d go, never knew we could survive.
read or listen:
If grief has found you today,
carried you away,
you are not alone.
The world grieves every day,
disregarding the papier-mâché plans you’ve made.
Her waters are filled with millions of us,
some not even human.
Dogs and Wolves are here,
Crows and Elephants,
even Whales and Dolphins are in her depths.
All of us are drawn into places we never thought we’d go,
never knew we could survive.
The orphaned parts of us were born here,
out on the timeless reefs we all recognize without knowing how.
We may find allies here,
the best are not always kind,
but still sure, thorough and true.
They know these waters are for remaking us,
so we can awaken with gratitude some day.
The world grieves this way
because it is so magnificently alive
it has to encompass
everything,
even this great loss
that is your companion now.
*it is so magnificently alive. .. it is your companion now.*
Such deep intimacy with the truth of life!💔
