3 SISTERS
i saw 3 young ladies sitting on my aunts back porch enjoying popsicles, after their mothers funeral.
How ever their mother only had 2 daughters?
My aunt’s dog eventually knocked the popsicle from the younger’s hand and she began to cry. With out hesitation the older sister gave the younger sister her popsicle. At that moment I knew she had taken responsiblity for her sister.
That when I saw only 2 sisters. Ps. My aunt took care of them

The Evangelist and Cannibal

I read a story about an evangelist who was attempting to witness to cannibals in the islands of the Indian ocean. This evangelist was eventualy beheaded and presumed eaten by cannibals
In this painting it represents how litteraly the word of the preacher my have been taken,
Words like. EAT My FlESH, DRINK MY BLOOD, REST ON THE WORD,and LIVE FOREVER.
The cannibal is doing just as she was told, without remorse or guilt, honoring the words and will of the Evangelist. She has prepared a place of honor for his skull. aslo note artist Gauguin’s painting in back ground, Day of the gods.
