To conquer pain with love - A Love Ritual, 2022
We came together on spring equinox, just after the start of the war. Together we mourned for all the mothers, floating on rivers of tears, sending their sons and lovers to fight. We mourned how the feminine body becomes a battlefield of its own in times of war. And we prayed for every parent struggling to keep their children safe from harm. We extend the love and support to every child and every mother affected by arms and violence. Past, present and future. Today at Solstice, the ritual is full circle. May you all be safe and find peace.
