Having Heard About Jesus

And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him. Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years.

...She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. (Mark 5:24—25, 27)

Isolated and alone
Woman of blood
pours herself towards
the fabric of life.

Dewdrop of hope
slips down the thread
to the woman
with outstretched hands.

Seen above (and on home-page mastheads): “Post Christmas Letdown” by Jim Wroten in the current ECVA exhibition, "Recognition & Return."
