about

Ariel kept stones and crystals to give her comfort and strength. One of the last of several packages she sent me over the course of our friendship contained a small carnelian stone, to pair with the larger heart-shaped carnelian she kept on her altar at home, in hospitals and the hospice clinic. Carnelian is said to help with fear of death, and acceptance of the cycle of life. She had been trying to prepare me for her passing for months, in conversations, through books she sent, in introducing me to her other close friends so that we could try to support each other as only she had supported some of us.

This is a lament, wailing with the only voice I can sing with at my own grief for losing my friend, for no longer being able to talk to her every day. But it is also a less selfish intention for her freedom and flight from having to fight every day for autonomy, for breath.

I am so grateful to her spirit and for her work, which will continue to share love and to live on.

Energy time maddafakkas! This is hard hitting free jazz for the revolution. Listening to this you could believe it might actually happen! Anyone who thinks Jazz is for old folks should give this a spin. It couldn’t be more contemporary to my ears. Crinklechips
