cat.52 Rescue
Inspired by a newspaper report

about the earthquake in Turkey,

February 2023. I wonder where the rescued child is now. Has she any family left? I wonder how the two rescuers are. How many more lives did they save. What effect has it had on their lives.

In the first century, Joseph and Mary brought Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem, to thank God for their new baby. Simeon recognises Jesus as the Saviour of the world and Anna, the prophetess, watches with interest. Joseph is bringing two doves for sacrifice. Mary is blessed and wonders what her child's future was to be.

42 What are we looking for?

Oils on stretched canvas

Here we have the shops from Yaxley Centre, Peterborough. U.K. Humanity can be enticed into believing that what is sold in the shops is what makes life good. Each can become a god. Money; gambling; food; what we look like; alcohol; what we possess; pets, and sport. The DIY shop symbolizes our belief that we can do everything in our own strength. There is a narrow pathway between the shops leading to St. Peter’s church, Yaxley. There are seven empty people wandering amongst the shops looking for something. Each figure represents one of the 7 deadly sins: envy, pride, anger, gluttony, lust, sloth and greed. The figure at the entrance to the narrow path has taken the first step towards a life of more substance. Hence the sole of his foot is painted..

St. Peter's is a church set on the edge of the Cambridgeshire village of Yaxley. The November light from the south window reflects on the wall to make interesting shapes. The church was decorated with poppies by Irene and her team. The 2 girls, Nardia and Zahra, my grandchildren are waiting for the service to begin.

Rev. Calixte

My husband and I met the Masai tribe in Kenya. The women congregated altogether. They stood in straight lines, watching, silent and with their arms tucked closely to their chests. Their clothes [shuka] were bright, mainly primary colours and were sheets of fabric wrapped around their bodies.
