a 5-week intimate process

The Initiation
I don't stand here.
Presuming I know what you need.
To be most fully with your grief.
Because Grief is an intimate initiator.
One we're each asked to walk with.
To varying degrees. Over. And over again.
And in these times. It is a collective rising.
One we're all being asked to go through.
Now. Together.
Rippling out our sincerity of connection.
To ALL of Life.
For Grief has been misunderstood.
|
And we've been lead away from it's earth-shaking power. Grief has been pushed down. And back. Relegated behind closed doors. Into private enclaves. To carry all alone. Instead of flinging open the truth of its magnanimity. That Grief is Love. Grief IS Love. Beckoning humanity to open. Into a willingness. That is beyond our understanding and contradictions. |
Grief is not what we thought it was.
|
It is the wind that spins you around. Knocking you off your feet.
It is the rain that comes pummeling down. Blinding your vision from straight passage. It is the weight that pushes you to the earth. Where you can't lift yourself up, quite so quickly. Grief is the invitation from the soil below our feet. To come closer. Come closer. And rest your forehead on the ground awhile. To breathe. And listen for the heartbeat within. Grief is the rhythm that quickens your breath. Reminding you, you are here. You are ALIVE. Your heart is beating. I've been working with grief since childhood. Growing very close to its contours. Its heft. Its safety. Terror. Love. And friendship. It has brought out an honesty in me. And in those I've worked with and witnessed. As tears slip from our eyes. And wails emit from our lips. And our bodies roil like an ocean. Heaving with something unexplainable. |

Grief reveals to us... we are so much more than we've ever known we could be.
Grief is our guide for the coming times.
On how to be human. And real. And fully committed.
To the Love that wants to bring us most fully Alive.
Grief, Grace, God...dess! Our Deepening.
Welcome brave soul.

Grief, Grace, God...dess! A Deepening a 5-week dive into the vital nutrients of your life In this deepening journey, we explore the gateway grief leads us to and through. To receive and restore gifts that lay at the bottom of the sea. Here we engage with Grief as a Wise Guide and Ally. Inviting us to befriend our deepest grief - the original grief.

And the Great Mother said:
Come my child and give me all that you are. I am not afraid of your strength and darkness, of your fear and pain. Give me your tears. They will be my rushing rivers and roaring oceans. Give me your rage. It will erupt into my molten volcanoes and rolling thunder. Give me your tired spirit. I will lay it to rest in my soft meadows. Give me your hopes and dreams. I will plant a field of sunflowers and arch rainbows in the sky. You are not too much for me. My arms and heart welcome your true fullness. There is room in my world for all of you, all that you are. I will cradle you in the boughs of my ancient redwoods and the valleys of my gentle rolling hills. My soft winds will sing you lullabies and soothe your burdened heart. Release your deep pain. You are not alone and you have never been alone. -LINDA REUTHER, from Homecoming |
