Songs
As part of my practice I craft songs.
Like the dispatches they contain the raw unfiltered poetry of my experience as I practice in the Charnel Ground of my life.

I wrote this to process the grief I was experiencing when Gracie passed. I have cried many times to this song remembering her gentle presence.
