Love how my town represents.

Throughout the exhibit our altar has offered an invitation to visitors to bring their grief forward and allow a stone to hold it and be symbolically cleansed and release into the water. Each week I find the bowl is full of stones. I ritually renew the water and wash the stones and ready the altar for another week. Interestingly I have noticed that I can actually feel the weight of the grief coming off the stones as I clean them. Even more interesting is that over the last six weeks the weight of grief that I have been feeling wash off each of the stones has also been increasing. Such a good remember to make space for recognizing and finding ways to process our grief. Today is the last day we will have the altar up. Tomorrow I will return the stones to the ocean to be throughly cleansed of the collect grief. Thank you Mother Earth, ocean and lovely stones for holding it all for us.
