Loss Silence Mind

More From Jay Griffiths

Literary history and the present are dark with silences . . . i have had special need to learn all i could of this over the years, myself so nearly remaining mute and having to let writing die over and over again in me. these are not natural silences--what keats called agonie ennuyeuse (the tedious agony)--that necessary time for renewal, lying fallow, gestation, in the natural cycle of creation. the silences i speak of here are unnatural: the unnatural thwarting of what struggles to come into being, but cannot.
Lying Struggle Writing
I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood. that the speaking profits me, beyond any other effect....what i most regretted were my silences. of what had i ever been afraid? ...death on the other hand, is the final silence...my silences had not protected me. your silences will not protect you.
Believe Hands Silence
Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.
Reality Men Silence
I love your silences, they are like mine. you are the only being before whom i am not distressed by my own silences. you have a vehement silence, one feels it is charged with essences, it is a strangely alive silence, like a trap open over a well, from which one can hear the secret murmur of the earth itself.

Every time there are losses, there are choices to be made. you choose to live your losses as passages to anger, blame, hatred, depression and resentment, or you choose to let these losses be passages to something new, something wider, and deeper.

There are many kinds of loss embedded in a loss - the loss of the person, and the loss of the self you got to be with that person. and the seeming loss of the past, which now feels forever out of reach.

Similar Quotes
There was no one clear point of loss. it happened over and over again in a thousand small ways and the only truth there was to learn was that there was no getting used to it.
Loss Way Used
The greatest disaster of all was after all the difficulties and loss of life and expenditures, president [barak] obama walked away, in 2011, and it is a disaster. and now we've got half of iraq under the isis control and terrorists, and iran has moved in because we weren't there, and they've taken more influence. just a few thousand troops, in my opinion, would have avoided that.

You learn how to be a gracious winner and an outstanding loser.

Now that mine is almost over, i can say that the one thing that struck me most about life is the capacity for change. one day you're a person and the next day they tell you you're a dog. at first it's hard to bear, but after a while you learn not to look at it as a loss. there's even a moment when it becomes exhilarating to realize just how little needs to stay the same for you to continue the effort they call, for lack of a better word, being human.
