March Mourning

Anticipated mourning
as well as ongoing mourning, this month...


Condamné à la décapitation
Mohamed Kohail

Mohamed Kohail MAY die - and his family MAY be mourning him this month...
Archbishop Rahho, for his part, DID DIE - and there can be no doubt that *his* journey on this earth has been ended in a most sickening and cowardly way, by another's hands...


This photo taken in Nov. 2007 shows Chaldean Catholic archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho posing by St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. The body of Rahho, kidnapped in Iraq last month, was found just outside the northern city where he was abducted, the auxiliary bishop of Baghdad said Thursday March 13, 2008. Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho was seized in Mosul and three of his companions were killed Feb. 29 when gunmen attacked them soon after he left mass.

And to end on a less lugubrious but truly luminous note -
another video-link with a song and video-clip at the other end that reflects Life, Hope, the passing of the years, nostalgia therefore -saudade- but the lyrical evermore quality of it all - the certainty that we shall be together once again, one day... All that I simply see in this song by the irresistible Isabelle Boulay.


Isabelle Boulay : Simplement tout
