Suffering and grief have something in common, silence and suffering. By definition, when you are awe struck, you shut up. So that's part of the VIA negative is silence. And today we're in great grief as a species. I mean, just this week we saw pictures of the Rhine River drying up,. The Danube River and the Thames is drying up... In China, the great rivers are drying up. We don't think our suffering or death is the last word but it allows us to go through with grace.
