Comforting Thought: No is also an action

Sunset lamps medieval city - travel wonder happy joy


“no” is also an action
let it be your own approval
of disapproval
wear it around your neck
as you lift your chin to turn away
even if your skin feels different
even if “yes” tries to follow
up the back of your throat”

good grief, brianna pastor

Read the full review of this book, which I gave five stars. Buy on Amazon and in good book stores

A deeply moving book of prose and poetry that captures the bittersweet and dark nature of grief and letting go. This is a timeless companion for people of all ages, stages and phases of life. If you are going through something, letting go of something or someone then this book will see you and take the measure of your sadness, anger and fear – letting light into your life for clarity and connection with self and the world.
