Learning today brought to you from Krista Tippett’s On Being podcast: Gregory Orr – Shaping Grief with Language.
1. Words make worlds from the Jewish tradition. Gregory Orr emphasized this numerous times. He discovered that he could bear the pain of having accidentally killed his younger brother through words. He sees the joy and comfort that can come from connecting language to our internal feelings and the physical world.
2. Make your own Bibles – Emmerson. Put together the poems, stories, songs, etc. that shape, sustain and shake you.
