"A Blessing To All" is a sound-poem by way of an inclusive prayer I started to say some time last year. The free single on Drock Productions comes with the raw poem and a Dirge ambient rework. There's no denying we are living in difficult times - I find this mantra reassuring and meditative: maybe it can be for you too. Feel free to change the text to fit your perspective and world view. Turn on the light...!
