For One Who Grieves This Burning World

"The world is burning. The species are being wiped out. The reefs are dying, and I cannot hold it all. I need some soothing nectar for my grief!"

Dear one, I mean this from the groundless bottom of my heart: the grief IS the nectar. You must drink it all, drown in it, feel it not through the insulating concepts of the mind - which only create stories about the past and future - but feel it in every cell of your body as the force of Presence.

Merge with the grief and it will ferment into something that cannot be described, only tasted as life-giving strength, pouring out of an infinite well of Unknowing. That is the true meaning of Faith. You are not alone.
