Mourning, March 2003

I called her Mourning because she lived the sadness I carried in my heart.
Tentative at first, she clearly knew what I was looking for, but she was not willing
to give her inner self to me or to the camera. It would be nearly a year before
she emerged from behind her bulwark. The day she did, it was to the words
“bring me back to you,” from the song “Wherever You Will Go” by The Calling.
I won’t ever forget the moment she reached to the sky, the length of her body
expressing the full depth of her longing and sadness.
