God’s love heals us of all of our wounds. Joy will come via rustle of a leaf, a mild breeze, warm sun rays or a child’s smile, all to assure you she’s near. With prayers from one mother to another mother’s hurting son.

Nawa Irari/hello brother Kanye,
It is sad news to just hear about your loss and gain of your mother to the heavens. No words can explain these kinds of feelings. Sometimes it’s just in the Music and for me our Native songs. The healing and encouragement of the music. I just read your ma’s interview, beautiful words to inspire many. You and your family will be in our prayers Irari/brother. Your mother is in the heavens.
