Don’t grieve. 

Anything you lose comes round in another form.

How absolutely beautiful.

I pulled a card from an oracle deck i have and it was 'Clouds'. Asking me what is preventing me from moving ahead, what am I holding onto that i need to let go of. I think of that quote from Blake, if you cling to tightly tô something it stifles it, to appreciate it you must let if fly. I love Kiwi mist, so sense one minute then poof! It's gone. These are magic isl as nes. Stay safe, AFP!

I am trying to internalize this but I cant ... I feel lost in grief right now. My dad died earlier this month and we were oceans apart with no way for me to go see him and I dont know when I will be able to see the rest of my family again with borders shut down.

Random anecdote - a lost ukulele was offered insistently to my mother by Cathay pacific staff in HK yesterday.

I don't know how you could not be - grief will be the ocean that connects you all. May you wash up together on the far shore.

"Grief expressed out loud for someone we have lost, or a country or home we have lost, is in itself the greatest praise we could ever give them. Grief is praise, because it is the natural way love honors what it misses." -Martin Prechtel, "The Smell of Rain on Dust"

Beautiful! The composition is awesome. To me Amanda, this is a beautiful exposé of the vulnerability I am experiencing in these unprecedented times of social distancing. Vulnerable to the silent rage of an unseen virus. Vulnerable to the loneliness invading my spirit for the lack of human touch.

Read news this morning that New Zealand is virus free! Your spiritual home is safe in more ways than one! :D again, what an incredibly serendipitous retreat location as it worked out. :/ I have to call out Rumi with modern parenting and positive speak! ;) One great parenting lesson i learned is to avoid saying "Don't . . . " Children (brains, people) don't hear the don't and only hear what follows . . . . So from the command Don't Grieve, is only heard the active and discomforting word Grieve. A "don't" put out to begin with has to be followed with a "Do"! :-) - for children's sake, so it is clear what behavior you want from them. Don't grieve, Do process ' (hmm, due process!) * I do like the acknowledgment that nothing is lost, all is energy and shape-shifting. I do like non-attachment so we release judgments over things we have no control over. I like acknowledging grief as part of healing, whether taking 40 days or a year, if it is part of mourning ' Love you, and this very beautiful portrait capturing you incubated in time and space, as you hatch in this new world! Much love.

I think my mother read the same advice. She always tried to phrase things as positives, like "remember to get milk at the grocery store!" instead of "don't forget the milk!" I think it's a good policy, to try to use positive phrasing. I'm going to cut Rumi some slack though, as he's a poet from centuries ago and has such a way with words. Also, he's Persian, so we're reading a translation....

Amanda, have you lost someone or thing during this time?

I was thinking about the forum youve revamped lately and I was wondering if you’ve ever heard of or would consider getting a Discord server? I use Discord more than I use any other social media to actually talk to friends and keep in touch. Worth looking into!!

I lost one of my best friends about a year-and-a-half ago. After a day of grieving (which I admit will never fully end), I had a realization. I posted to my friend's Facebook timeline, for her friends and family to see, that "in a meaningful way, you are still here, your various aspects reflected in us. What we miss from you, we can find (even if it's not exactly the same) in each other." I had never read the quote from Rumi before today; but I'd say he was essentially right. I still want my friend back -- but I do not grieve nearly as much as I look for what I appreciated about her in other people.
