Video: A Musical Prayer for the Dead
Musician Paul Dwyer recently completed his CrowdRise challenge of walking part of the world heritage Kumano kudo pilgrimage in Japan, climbing the 473 steps of the ancient daimon-zaka slope with his double bass. He embarked on this journey to raise awareness and funds for Dolphin Project, and while there, visited the cove, in Taiji.
In honor of the dolphins, Paul walked down to the water, spent some time in meditation, and, under a bright sunny sky, played Oscar Pettiford’s “The Gentle Art of Love.”
