&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not empty containers just being filled up with fear and terror and trauma,&rdquo; says psychotherapist Francis Weller. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re also medicine carriers.&rdquo; Many of you will know Weller from his moving conversations about grief with Anderson Cooper, or his beautiful book&nbsp;The Wild of Edge of Sorrow. Weller&rsquo;s new book,&nbsp;In the Absence of Ordinary, is exactly what we need now. Today, we talk about the wisdom and vitality that our grief can bring forth if we resist the impulse to go numb. Weller talks about what happens when we keep our grief company, when we allow it to keep moving, when we give ourselves what we&rsquo;ve so been needing. He invites us, in this time of uncertainty, to move toward imagination, and what he calls the long dark&mdash;a space where we can connect with our own immensity, and collectively receive the medicine that is waiting there for all of us.
