Thank you Gregg, that was a really great discussion and I felt very
liberated by the end!

The discussion on grieving and femininity in particular brought up a few
things for me:


   - I remember reading about how Socrates shoo'd away his weeping wife as
   he was about to be executed, because her grief was weakness. Also, how he
   held a sense of hope for an afterlife because it comforted him. I would
   never judge someone about to die for their comforting beliefs, but I
   believe there was a far stronger power on display with the full-throated
   grieving of his wife, looking directly at death without consoling hope.
   Grieving as true and final love, a midwifing into the Void.
   - In this essay,

   Christina Rawls writes about how, although Plato did not hold flute-girls
   in high regard in his writing (as in the Symposium) because their music was
   not up to his standards, at the moment of his death it was just those
   comforting sounds that he requested.
   - I also read about how many people cry for their mamas at the moment of
   their death. At first I was horrified and a bit embarrassed to know this.
   But now it seems sweet and true - in some way, to borrow from LeGuin, we
   are "always coming home." Or like LeGuin's inspiration Lao Tzu said,
   "Yielding is the movement of the Dao/Returning is the movement of the Dao.


Best to all,
