A small water practice: Write a few lines to someone you have lost. Read them aloud near water: a lake, a creek, even a bath. Let the water hold what words cannot.

A letter to someone you’ve lost

Write a few lines to someone you have lost. Read them aloud near water: a lake, a creek, even a bath. Let the water hold what words cannot.

“Let the silence say what words cannot.”

From Passage Twelve, The Edge of Silence in Surrender to Self, Amal Lana’s lyric memoir in thirteen passages.
