Alleluia ???

in the midst of resounding alleluias today in many circles, i am reminded for some reason of the work of Stephen Levine - renowned spiritual teacher in the realm of death, dying and grief.
He has written many books and has many tapes with his wife Ondrea. You might be interested in reading about his work as there are lots of resources online.
Because all of us are not out of our tombs and have such difficulty rolling back the stone on this Easter morn, I take comfort in remembering some of his words I have heard and read over the years...
-when he speaks to someone coping with some challenge, will place his thumb and forefinger apart slightly and say:
'

"Just this much....you only have to meet just this much..."

-and from his latest book

"Feelings of loss don't go away; they go deeper......."

-I like the mantra he suggests for those who are unhinged by chronic sorrow:

"May I get the most out of this possible."
