Grief |
|
For
most of us, death appears as a fixed horizon |
|
and
those who pass over it leave an emptiness we
|
|
must
fill with a season of grieving. |
|
And
yet, with our sorrow there is also a
knowledge |
|
of
light, a certainty that the sense of loss |
|
belongs
not to any ending but to the limitation of
our vision |
|
Death is an experience
for those left behind, not for those |
| who
are moving from one stage of living to
another |
| |
| It is
Christ who dwells within us who is free to
step back and |
| forth
over the horizon of death, containing our
grief in His |
|
passion and our knowledge of light in his
transcendence, |
|
showing us that death and resurrection are
the two sides |
| of the
one coin. |
| |
| So
while grief goes on, the tears, the hurting, |
| I know
in the truth of Jesus Christ |
| That
the hollowness I feel at the departure of
love ones |
| is in reality, the
hollowness of the empty tomb. |
