Grief is being swallowed into countless bodies, isn't it?
The most intimate and personal kind, in our own hearts,
and the grief being carried by our cherished friends and neighbors.
If we're alive, it's a constant.
To be human means its inescapable.
"There are many reasons to treat each other with great tenderness."
I'm thinking we do well to remember everyone we encounter
is in the process of swallowing their grief.
Where the miracle appears is in the ability
to find joy and delight while bearing this weight.
To be kind and forgiving to ourselves and each other
knowing how heavy the burden of loss can be.
And to go on.
Rejoicing in the small and large wonders
even as we feel ourselves dissolving with the pain.
We are such amazing creatures.
I am awestruck by us over and over and over again.
Namaste'
