FROM THE SPIRITUAL TO THE VERY HUMAN



My mother’s maid told me this morning that the maid in our neighbor’s house had died, leaving behind two young children. The information registered but did not have an impact till loud wails wrung from the cells of the mourners hearts pierced my ears and I felt an arrow of human agony hit my heart. This is the human condition. These are the circumstance of our mortality. This is part of the contract. Coping and managing are the only things in our control
