Reflections on Death and Reconciliation
نویسنده
چکیده
Death was introduced to me suddenly, without forewarning and without any preparation, at the age of ten. I was riding home on my bike on a warm summer evening. A crowd had gathered. and I stopped to see what had happened. There, laying in the street, was a little girl's tennis shoe, next to a tiny pool of blood. I don't know how I knew it was blood, but I did. She had been hit by a car and killed. Vague thoughts and feelings stirred within me as if I were in a dream, and I wondered how she might have looked: the color of her hair, her dress, her face, the expression in her eyes. I tried to imagine her voice, but all I heard was silence. The image stayed with me for years.
