How Can I Keep From Singing?

April 28, 2021

Through all the tumult and the strife,

I hear that music ringing

It finds an echo in my soul

How can I keep from singing?

For the hymn by Robert Lowry

To live in this world

you must be able 
to do three things 
to love what is mortal 
to hold it 

against your bones knowing 
your own life depends on it ;
and when the time comes to let it go ,
to let it go.

In naming this new series, I honor the transformative power of feminine energy. 
Like a womb, the red crocheted linen wraps these hard, phallic stones. Each stone, carries the weight of another.
