To my good friends--
A few days ago we were discussing griefwork here. And I began to wonder:
When we speak of griefwork, we speak of some death that has already
happened. We are perhaps avoiding speaking of the thing itself: the dying
we have yet to do.
If we are encouraging people to do their griefwork then should we not
encourage them to die, to destroy? This is the via negativa of Fox and
Eckhart, the time for dying of the poet of Ecclesiastes.
Every death has within it a new birth, and conversely. How to die before we
die? Is this not the principle at the heart of our notion, griefwork?
