Yesterday the news media a reported the found body of a young woman, raped, burned and buried along a desolate trail in one of our parks. I cannot imagine the feelings of her mother and loved ones.
In face of death, particularly of loved ones, words are of little consequence. It is presence that is so important.
How better to express this experience than by the image of the women at the foot of the cross? They look look up at the man they loved. Their arms hang as if helpless.
My hope is that this piece is a comfort to someone who knows what it is like to experience the death of a loved one.
