Grieflute
What's in a word...
Our second day together with Design Science Studio’s coHeART 3 sent us searching for meaning in the words we share, stumble upon and conjure to fit our times.
Yet rarely do they hold sway with all. Some even wonder is there sense in such wordplay.
Specifically on this day as the tower of babel seems barley able to hold its weight.
Yet on this day when all are feeling a deep #senseof grief a new word arose which became music to our ears.
Amanda Joy Ravenhill: ‘grieflute’ - when grief is carving more holes in the flute of your life such that you can play more complex beautiful songs of peace
Josie Siegel: I feel like a duduk in d is an actual grieflute
My curiosity was peaked by my love of wordplay, the co-created sincerity with which this new word was revealed, and my lack of knowledge of what a duduk might sound like.
The pencil knew what to do and leapt into my hand, 2birds perched at the ready.
After listening more deeply into the duduk they were destined to beam a duet, one holding a decidedly tender note with circular breathing while the other reverberates so much more than words can carry.
The sweet and sorrowful sounds from the breath of life, an apricot tree and 2birds.
Grieflute
P.S. Griefluent sure kind of sounds like Gryphelant… but that’s another story.
I love this!
this just emerged...
such are the sounds of the grieflute
sending ears aflutter to the trill of sorrows
each breath flowing griefluently
seeping though saddened hearts
enhancing our griefluency
our choral of commons
such are the sounds of the grieflute
each breath flowing griefluently
enhancing our griefluency
