The Light in the Darkness

Angelshand

 

An angel drops flowers like rain from heaven. The background of tangled tree branches beginning to bloom speaking of rebirth a symbol of life continuing.

A rusty window frame holds fragments of tinted glass. Light pours through though unable to share any memories.

Layers of time past and present

the broken stained glass renders Mary holding a faceless Jesus.

Light illuminates a cloak of blue covering those who walk by.

This tomb made me gasp. The blue eyes of a child, the ruby lips, the iron door delicately designed with flowers. The sorrow of death and the hope of an afterlife.

Fragmented stone statues, engraved words, iron gates that are unlocked

names of people of the past and bouquets of flowers with fragrant dried petals.

Messages of life and death, are within the walls that surround it.

A larger than life stone statue sits with her eyes closed, her arms are broken…her lips partly open as if she might utter a word. Stories vanished in the earth.

    Dearest Corey,
    Thank you so much for all photographs. How fortunate for us to have windows into the lives and surrounding of others. Happy Easter to darling Gabriel.
    Your Mom looks great with her medals and her beautiful hair. the park with the cemetery and statuary is beautiful to see. And of course your first rose. It makes the memory of your Annie and her roses and making jams.
    Be well dear women and the best to you and yours. Thank you for the window displays of life’s ongoing history.
    Fondly, Jacque

    Thank you for your words and photos. We were able to do a Zoom Seder with three generations of cousins. My family is diverse and it was so beautiful to see them all on the screen with a baby on a rocking horse in the center. We may alter traditions but nothing changes the love for our families and for that I am so grateful. Thank you for sharing yours.
