Prayer of the Mothers

(1:30min)

A meditation for the displaced and dispossessed - inspired by the story of a mother comforting her children during an air raid. As bombs were falling, she would incorporate the sounds of explosions into tales of 'stomping giants and bashing drums'. A reflection on resilience and a mother's determined hope for a better future.
