Grief & Gratitude

Entering the Healing Ground is the result of Francis Weller's experience stretching over decades--as a group facilitator for men/women in sorrow and as a therapist. Like all of us he's had personal, heart-breaking experience. There's none of us who hasn't had reason to weep, no matter how adept we might be at repressing our history, even our every-day living. What if depression--including 'clinical' depression--is mostly (if not mainly) unaddressed/repressed sadness? Weller talks about internal sadness and sadness of the land. (At one point he argues that US history of brutal conquest of the American Indians, of our enslavement of blacks. of our fighting with one another in the Civil War...these are reasons for the wailing sounds & wrenched hearts inhabiting our country--which greet us at birth, if not before. IF you can find a copy of this book costing less than $100-- grab it! (That's the going price presently, Feb. 2016, since it's out of print)
