“Die…”

  2. The photos show the daily grind of parish life. They do have some significance to me and the parish. When I took the photo above, it was raining, and the there was a little flooding in front of the church patio. I remember at that time being frustrated because of the clogged drainage, which made it more difficult for people to go to church. The people were in pain for the loss of their beloved, and I thought, they should not be given additional burden -- because of the flood waters...

    I will certainly try as much as possible to be "poetic" as you wish ... but sometimes, I cannot help become "literal" especially, if I wish to "shock" and make others "creepy"...

    Thank you for the suggestion. Your comments are a gem! I look forward always to your comments. They add more meaning to Father Soc's text messages.
