Lighting the Candles at Grandma's34" x 24" oil on linen |
On Friday, my grandma lit three candles at sundown. She circled candles three times with her old hands and then covered her eyes. The candles glowed over the three baked loaves as she whispered prayers out loud but softly, talking to God. It was a remarkable relationship really, in touch with the other world. Someone once told me that I was my grandmother’s child and I hope that she was right. |
