Encounter

Post by Solenne Bright

Small sound bath Thursday night, eight people, mostly regulars. Near the end I struck the big crystal bowl, the low F, and let it ring out like always.

Except it didn't fade. It kept going, a thin thread of sound, maybe twenty seconds longer than it physically should have. My hands were in my lap. Nobody touched it.

Afterwards a woman who'd come for the first time told me, very quietly, that it was her late father's birthday, and that he used to hum one low note to her when she couldn't sleep. 'Like that one,' she said.

I'm not going to make claims about what happened. I just held her hands for a minute, and then we had tea.

    'Not going to make claims, just held her hands and had tea.' That's exactly the right response to the unexplained.

    Those big quartz bowls do strange, beautiful things. So glad you were there to hold space for her.

    One low note when she couldn't sleep. Oh, my heart.
