Reflecting on grief...

Woke up in the early hours of the morning - nothing unusal there then! - reflecting on grief.

Yesterday I spent time with a woman who was at the darkest point of her entire life - witnessing the rawness and depth of her pain - and talking about what it felt like to be there. Being open to my own pain through doing that.

Made me understand how my journey has been so enriched by that pain. It is only because I have felt that pain and been open to it - that I can also feel the bliss.

This duality of pain/bliss is at the very core to everything that I am.
