SORROW OPENS WHAT IS CLOSED

JOHN MCINTOSH

There are many forms sorrow takes but always loss of some kind accompanies it. Even the sorrow of unfulfilled desires is a form of loss and can be just as deep. The stiffest knee will bend under the enormous weight of sorrow and what bends the knee brings the great power of surrender. The quiet YES has not yet come to the lips of the stubborn mind … it is sorrow that usually precedes the acceptance of WHAT IS.

This is NOT some agreement with circumstances but a subtle awareness that ‘What Is’ simply IS. When resistance to What Is ceases, the giant weight that accompanied loss is lifted. Pain will certainly remain, but that weight falls away. It is IN that state of Grace, that golden silence of acceptance where the still small voice which thunders in ITs quiet way, is heard. No library of words can match the clear and gentle Truth that that voice speaks. IT OPENS what has been closed for eons.
