"THE BURNING RIVER" (Bonus Story Episode)

"THE BURNING RIVER," an origin story for aspiring adults, was conceived as a narrative prayer for transformation & peace.  Inspired by the many traditional stories and songs from around the world that have helped us to remember who we are, and are becoming, here at Street Poets, "The Burning River" is a fresh fable fed by ancient roots.  We hope, as you listen, you'll find some thread of your own story, and of our greater human story, within it. 

A big THANK YOU to mythologist/storyteller MICHAEL MEADE of Mosaic Multicultural Foundation for the inspiration, and elder MIGUEL RIVERA for teaching us the song in the story, a traditional Mayan song for releasing grief, first gifted to him by the late great poet HUMBERTO AK’ABAL and the Maya K’iché people of Guatemala.
