Regarding the Rottgen Pieta, Elle Emerson.

I was thinking, the other day, about the notion that divine forgiveness and or spiritual transcendence can be achieved through suffering and or isolation. Is that not the belief of a person so awash in shame that the only catharsis in sight is through pain?

Do you believe you deserve it? Do you believe you have always deserved it?

Given the chance to face the people you've wronged, would you douse yourself in kerosene and cower at their feet? Would you offer them a lit match with those shaking fingers?

Suffering allows you to escape your guilt, and isn’t it such a weight removed from the hollow of your throat? That kind of release is easily mistakable for holiness.

Don’t you pretend your hands are claws, secretly wish you could stomach the desire to push out instead of scratching your forearms raw? And don’t you get sore?

In the slope between your neck and shoulders, your jaw.

But suffering is too extravagant a term for these Tuesday morning pains - This is no spiritual awakening. This is just dinner on the couch. Why does it have to be beautiful? No one holds you after your fantasies of the Passion. There's no blood in your bedsheets from the stigmata you didn't get. No one is watching.

So why does it have to be beautiful? You, in pain, are no closer to god than You, in the drive thru or You, checking your email or You, holding your own hand.
