Names You Were Given
Before you knew what it meant, your name had already been chosen and spoken with care. Given names, changed names, nicknames and private names gather as traces of the voices that shaped them. Gratitude appears quietly: in being called, recognised, and returned to yourself by a sound someone once made for you.
Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness, a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
