As I sit here considering or letting a name arise for grief, a song began to play in my mind..."hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again..." You can't even make this stuff up! Sounds of Silence, an old song from my past.
I love this post Sam, all the facets of grief, and the many ways and reasons that grief visits. So like the song, let it in, have a conversation. Just like death, it has things to say. The only thing I sense right now is it wants me to let it move, to let it stretch it's legs.
Ahh, how wonderful that the Sounds of Silence popped in. Just in the name of that song... that in the sounds of silence we can here more, feel more, become more Dearest Grief, Hello Darkness my Old Friend...come let us share a cuppa together, let us dance together, let us move together, in the Sounds Of Silence. Oh Julie, that is so special.
May Grief move and stretch its legs, with Death maybe, or by itself, in a dance of duality crossing the liminal spaces of noise to the Sounds of Silence and into our own heart and soul more. Dearest Grief, let us be be a beautiful couple in this sacred dance of life. x
Yes, dancing with grief, dancing with death, old friends, why not welcome them in when they come to visit as that "sacred dance." Thinking of you with love! 💜
thank you, thank you, thank you
