The Williams of Heaven

Hey, kid

I have been working on something lately that (tragically)

Reminds me of you

It started with the question of how “you” could transmit hope to a distant “stone-age” tribe

What symbols would “you” need to

Stand in for Man

Stand in for Woman

Stand in for child

Stand in for God

Stand in for Pain-Brutality-Disenfranchised-Sorrow

Abandonment. Near total abandonment.

By now you recognize where I am going with this—Substitutionary Atonement

For the lamb, the goat, the chicken, the child, the man, the monster

Living then dying inside the universal symbol for In-all-my-years-of-law-enforcement….

This is what ellipsis is for

All the Williams of Heaven

We will see each other again

And this time you will tell your whole terrible story

Through the Universal Translator

God with us.

Matthew 18:3-7 KJV
[3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. [5] And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. [6] But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. [7] Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Matthew 23:37 KJV
[37] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
