Bless They That Mourn

"While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: [19] And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. [20] Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, [21] And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."
~Job 1:18-21 KJV


hands clutch hair and pull to mask the sorrows, to feel the pain, the hurt, one understands knowing they are gone in all tomorrows death is far, yea, far from these mortal hands And so, to show how wide the sorrow spans rip, or cut, yea, shave what sets us apart symbolic of a bruised and broken heart golden locks or black, once all cut away identity lost, the same now we art symbol of grief connects past with today.
