Singing the Bones: Recovering the Self

I think we have to be very determined ~ just as the old woman was determined, believing with certainty and without question that over time, the bones could be sung back into something vibrantly alive.

I think that is the attitude we need to hold, too.

We cannot sing ourselves whole without all the bones, and without knowing how they fit together. And finally, we must believe we can do it.

I like this imagery. I like the certainty in it. That we are sifting through sand and soil and etc for the bones. That we will sing, and that the bones will come into life, whole and complete no matter how scattered the bones were, or how long they'd been dead things, and buried.
