Grief Sound Bath

Julia Mallory

We are sending our grief through the soles of our feet.

Through to the earth that can hold it.
Through to the earth that is perfectly formed.

Through to the earth that is ancient.

We are sending our grief through the soles of our feet.

Through to the earth that can hold it.
Through to the earth that is perfectly formed.

Through to the earth that is ancient.
We are sending our grief through the soles of our feet.

Through to the earth that can hold it.
Through to the earth that is perfectly formed.

Through to the earth that is ancient.
