"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter´s oven? And the not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy." So said Khalil Gibran and so do I
It’s from the sorrow the joy emerge so do not deny it… It’s the sorrow that learn you how to ”navigate” at see, so do not throw that map away.. The sea is the best metaphor for life and the unconscious and the sea is the place for all our life sailing. So it’s best for all of us if we learn how to sail. The sorrow is the stormy water we need to manage to be able to reach ”land”
Sometimes our lives hang on a slack rope over the dark water. But we must stick rigidly fixed to the rope. Even if the sorrow have a stranglehold on us. What or whom are this rope…? Talking is ”what” ”whom” is a true friend that can listen. That is all they need… Can it be so hard to lend them this rope?
Grief is not a disease. It is a natural part of life and it is not contagious
Even rivers can cry .
The sorrow can make us temporary paralyzed like a statue. But if we let it come out we will be alive again. But it we forces ourselves to smile when we feel like this we will become statues and with a heart of stone…
In Mythology we have this guy who flew to close to the sun and see what happened His wings were scorched. We have so much to learn from our old myths. The grief has a great space in both Saga, Dream and Myth. Why so? Yes because they all reflect life and they are watching with eyes many hounded years old , So of course they can see things that we can not…We just have to trust them
For whom have I started this group, didn’t I have enough many already? ;) This group is for those whose smile got stuck and grief frozen into ice And where the joy like anger is a disguised grief which has stolen their personality and individuality, and make them to statues without their knowledge
But it’s also for all those who have realized what the sorrow have taken and given them and dare to talk about it. Those who know that sorrow is as natural as joy and a prerequisite for the true happiness. Those who want to show us their map which helped them to navigate on the stormy see. Those who with their experiences can make a different and change the world…
Since they have learned that joy and sorrow walk hand in hand and that one can not live without the other, since they derive their nourishment from each other. Let us learn from those who know…let us stand up for the sorrow, which will create so much more space for love, happiness and joy *smile* Grief is or was never ”a stain in the protocol” 091202 I can see in your eyes...... The grief you have hidden and that shameful peaking forward. Bending down trying to cover itself behind the lashes like a mercy child in the cold. I see the pain that shoots lightning straight through the yellow blob and give the eye cavity cramp . I see the joy that ecstatic dancing around on the rainbow film making pupil Art. I see the sadness the heavy, not definable like dark clouds staining the white eye gray I see the raindrops trembling in the eye corners about to fall. I see YOU
The grief will always catch up to you...
Once upon a time…there was an old woman Who had lived throughout her long life with the same man. So died the man. The old woman "took it so well" to the surprise of the surroundings. She hardly showed any grief at all. One or two years later her cat died and the old women collapsed
This is a true story. What can we learn from it? Yeah we all carry different not finished sorrows and losses. The sadness that had not come out will always find an alibi to squeeze up and then also strengthened in a way which can break down anyone.. So it is important to grieve. There is no shortcuts. We must not encourage those who desperate are seeking to work against their grief. For sooner or later like ” a letter in the post" The grief are breaking out and perhaps, for one in others' eyes, minimal loss and then there is not always an supported environment there to help you., since they do not understand ….. So helping people to mourn is sometimes the best help we can give...if we do not want to become totally helpless before a subsequent collapse of which we understand nothing.
