Fire In The Soul

I feel like I'm entering a new stage, a new time. I feel immobilized on one level and functional on another. I think I am withdrawing a little more as a realize what a solo journey from tragedy to transformation it is. It is not for lack of loving family and friends, it is just the need to resolve my own loss. I dream about people dying and being at Chloe's service, feeling very sad. It is almost as though the reality of the magnitude of the loss is very sharp now. I am feeling things about her death that I could not feel in those first days. I can see it all, and with that comes a new wave of grief. And yet, I can feel moments of light and life.

I look the same on the the outside, but my foundation is tilted. Inside there is that stream of sorrow and processing where I'm at and who I am, what planet I've landed on and how to accept and adapt to it. I find a greater weariness from the work I am doing. But I have hope and courage that I will find my way.

"May I be at peace.
May my heart remain open.
May I know the beauty of my own true nature.
May I be healed."

-Joan Borysenko, Fire in the Soul

You don't say how long it's been, but I am sorry for your loss.

It comes to my mind a picture someone posted once of a vase that was cracked and the crack was filled in with gold...a description of what goes on within us.
