Francis Weller Quotes
Grief Is Subversive, Undermining The Quiet Agreement To Behave And Be In Control Of Our Emotions. It Is An Act Of Protest That Declares Our Refusal To Live Numb And Small. There Is Something Feral About Grief, Something Essentially Outside The Ordained And Sanctioned Behaviors Of Our Culture. Because Of That, Grief Is Necessary To The Vitality Of The Soul. Contrary To Our Fears, Grief Is Suffused With Life-force.... It Is Not A State Of Deadness Or Emotional Flatness. Grief Is Alive, Wild, Untamed And Cannot Be Domesticated. It Resists The Demands To Remain Passive And Still. We Move In Jangled, Unsettled, And Riotous Ways When Grief Takes Hold Of Us. It Is Truly An Emotion That Rises From The Soul.
