today is a perfect balance to yesterday when i awoke to being a wellspring of bubbling joy for today the call of sitting by the well is imperative as waves of grief – ancestral, cosmic, present moment – flood…

grief is an ocean ebbing and flowing,

at times overwhelming, other times still…

grief is a winding deepening valley,

 at times arid desert, other times blossoming field…

grief is a river bending and turning,

bursting our illusion of life’s course remaining unchanging…

grief is re-membering and celebrating the beauty, joy, love and gratitude for what was while seeding and watering the dream field to blossom anew…

grief, the mother of compassion…
