Above the howling wind
do I hear the
cries of sisters and brothers
abused,
violated,
neglected?
Amid the pelting raindrops
do I see the
tears of sisters and brothers
brutalized,
exploited,
forgotten?
And if I hear,
and if I see,
do I
react,
repent,
respond?

Several films viewed today including Skins a favorite – a painful, powerful, poignant film. Graham Green, a favorite actor, is in the cast. It’s a tale of brotherhood, brokenness, healing, reconciliation, revenge, renewal and more.
Each time I view the film, it takes me back to the time I watched it at Ghost Ranch with Sid Birt and others. At one point, reflecting on a character’s behavior, Sid looked at me and observed, “He’s something of a strange police officer.” I nodded.
And at the climax of the film, I looked at Sid and said, “But he’s quite a brother.”
Check it out.
See you along the Trail.
