Still she prays.
When I took this picture I grabbed it for the sole reason that the sun was hanging so oddly in the noon time sky. I thought that the scene was eerie and barren. In my mind I was hearing Billy Bragg singing “there will be a reckoning.”
My children vex me. Looking at the shot this evening after dealing with the challenges of being a parent the tree is a barren as my heart is tonight. In the shadows it is there that the humble pray. Like Inge I too offer my petitions even when I don’t sense the presence of the Divine.
