Cliff Roberson's, cousin said something very powerful and transformative today at Cliff's homegoing. He told Cliff's brother, I am paraphrasing, "be careful of staying at the grave site too long. if you stay too long, you will find yourself not living and life will pass you by.
He wasn't talking about physically standing at the grave site, he was talking about emotionally, mentally, and spiritually being frozen in this moment in time. Frozen in our grief, frozen in our sorry, pain, and regrets.
Very often in life we find ourselves frozen in time, standing at the grave site of the things in life that have brought us pain, sorrow, distrust, and fear. It's hard and nearly impossible for many to pull ourselves out of these time warps.
But we must. The world needs our active participation in life and our very life is dependent on our active participation in our world.
Join me in committing ourselves to letting go of the things in life that have brought us pain, sorrow, distrust, and fear and walk away from the grave site.
What has seemed like a permanent state of existence and impossible to overcome, isn't. We simply need to walk away.
Don't stay at the grave site too long, we need you.
Cliff Roberson was a beloved DC activist, servant, and leader who I blogged a bit about earlier.
