The sound of one’s own voice is rarely heard in isolation. While people talk to themselves from time to time, they are rarely listening with a reverent ear. Murmuration exists as a call to reconnect with the self on a deeper level. To give the inner voice the sacred space it deserves and the isolated attention required to feed the spiritual that resides in all of us.
