It features the artist statement, as well as Mary's signature on the back. The artist statement reads as follows: "Raised Jewish, I love Black preaching. The pitch and cadence of an African-American preacher, voice soaring and whispering, words finding rhythm, moves my soul. That's how I hear James Weldon Johnson's poem, The Creation, where a Black preacher remembers a "lonesome" God who says, " I'll make me a man." I know a place that is dark and lonesome, before there was light. When the Creator speaks into my darkness, even my dark and lonesome soul becomes creative. Even I can be God's echo."

His family took trhe children. She felt her neighbors' accusing eyes, judging her guilty for a virus she never understood. Now, preparing to bury her, I heard her soul's story of piercing hopelessness. And I remembered again that every soul speaks, rarely using words.

It brought a joyful quiet, a time divided from the chaos and incessant clatter of the day. No more telephones, no more salesmen, no more noise. Ironically, in being separated from my children by their sleep, in being divided from the noise by the silence - there I was most connected to them and to life. Then came AIDS. In facing separation from all I loved through illness and death, life took on new meaning. I knew again that separation has soul power.
