When we first moved here, the mother took the blue-mirror cross that hung over her bed in our old house and nailed a nail for it in the new bedroom of me and my sister. Truthfully it is a cross I have never liked. The Jesus of it seems haunted. He’s the light-absorber kind. In the pitch-black middle of the night he will start to glow green at you with his arms up like he is doing a tragic ballet. Some nights looking at him scares me so bad I can hardly move and I start doing a prayer for protection. But when the thing that is scaring you is already Jesus, who are you supposed to pray to?
Chapter 1, Cruddy, an illustrated novel by Lynda Barry (1999)

This cause is dear to my heart.  Please take a look at my link and the organization’s website and consider making a donation.  No donation is too small.  Thank you!  I will keep you posted and will document the walk.

Please consider making a donation; no amount is too small, and it’s tax deductible.  Your gift will directly impact the lives of NYC public school students in my classes.  Thank you for looking.
