Personal Statement

April, 2011 - In a dream I had some months ago, I am being led to the stake, terrified, with my hands tied behind my back, being placed so the stake point is between my legs, knowing that I would eventually die under my own weight because I couldn’t stand anymore. I’m all alone here in this very public square, a spectacle. I ache. There is no relief, no being saved, no out. I’m ridiculed, spat on, my feet get kicked out from underneath me when I’m still able to stand. Eventually I will not be able to stand anymore.
