Look:
Take a few moments to gaze upon the artwork. Breathe
deeply in quiet meditation as you observe the visual
qualities of what you see: color, line, texture, movement,
shape, form.
Now take a deeper look. What parts of the image are your
eyes most drawn to? What parts of the image did you
overlook?
Now engage your imagination. What story do you imagine
for each figure?
Reflect:
- What has unraveled and/or is unraveling in this story?
- Think of a time when you have witnessed someone’s
public display of grief. How did their actions affect you and others?
- Imagine if Rizpah grieved quietly in solitude.
How might this story end differently?
Write:
Return to a memory of witnessing someone’s public display
of grief, perhaps in the midst of death or tragedy. Reflect on how their grief made you feel. How did their grief impact your actions or the actions of others?
How did this event impact your own approach to grief?
Prayer: May I be moved by and responsive to the unraveling of others. Amen.
