Foremost we're confronted with a jarring, complex atmosphere mixing agonizing grief with resignation and tender compassion, profound almost beyond comprehension by mere mortals. Yet closer examination of the scene yields an equally incongruous surprise — a garden ornament, apparently fixed with bemusement over the looming drama so dramatically memorialized.
This seems a very strange leap of sensibilities.
On the grounds of the St. Francis Retreat Center which I frequently visit and will do again this weekend coming.
