Through a glass darkly
While waiting in the car yesterday, with the rain falling in torrents outside, and the window somewhat frosted, I decided to draw a stick figure akin to what my daughter loves to do when she has a chance. As I looked out through the raindrop flecked window, watching the traffic pass again and again, I thought about how little I understood the sometimes fleeting lives of others and how incomplete was my appreciation of their individual and personal worth.
A young woman was killed the other day outside our building. She was simply cycling down a residential street late in the evening when a drunk driver hit her and ran. One week on she is no more than a statistic in the annals of DUI related deaths.
This snap somewhat captures my thoughts at the time.
