Lifting Grief
The ears, eyes, and throat are where we can release grief and carry peace. We move forward while being careful with the images and words we share.
Ayonwatha wandered alone in grief after the loss of his daughters. During that time, he formed the words to lift grief. He shared the words with Peacemaker. The dolls in this photo depict when Peacemaker lifted the grief from Ayonwatha.
