She is an untouchable, scorned and shamed. The darkness gathers overhead, pulling on her inner anguish, summoning her to join forces. Yet, she crosses paths with a wandering man that has lost his way, and sees, for the first time, that not all men inflict unnecessary pain. Like herself, he too is tormented, drawn to the light one moment but then to the darkness the very next. When the ashes settle over the ground soaked by blood, who do you suppose will be left standing in this unexpected tail of loss and love? Underlying the battle between light and darkness is another, that of Spirit and the ways of the world. There is a new and vibrant song being sung. Listen, and perhaps you will hear. Then come.
