Every morning, until evening….on every hour and then 15 minutes the church bells next door ring. This morning it was (as most mornings) those bells that woke me up. It made me think of all of the hundreds of years, how many went to that church and prayed…prayed over their families, especially the matriarch…the Grandmother, with deep faith and knowledge, praying over all…and so I was inspired to create this piece…like and echo, continuing to pray for all…. It is a nice thought, I think, to know that you are loved enough to be prayed for. I hope whoever finds it, decides to keep it and that it will remind them that they are loved, and prayed for too.
