Late Night in Tulsa
The mother field is immense and extremely magnetic.
Whatever happens in the mother field is multilayered,
and most layers are unreachable by words.
Songs get closer.
And what about the levels of tones beyond human hearing?
Beyond human voice?
The day has been packed with grief, joy, sadness, healing,
some songs, laughter, and the story of an uncle who held
his beloved wife when she was dying last year.
They were very close, and looked like twins, nearly identical.
Her last breath was a cloud of butterflies.
