the un-blessed is a biblical reimagining. if the bible were a movie, this piece is about the extras. what does it mean to know that world defining events are happening around you, and you exist in the margins, that you are not among the chosen? does it make you angry? do you give up? do you try anyway – even if you doubt there is a god who believes in you? in the face of despair, disaster, war, miracles (or their absence), and the fear of being forgotten after we are gone, the un-blessed is a poetic exploration of the human capacity for hope.
A BRIEF EXCERPT
blessed are those who are collateral in the stories of those we think we know,
the martyrs in the margins
for the world was built on their backs
their hearts are sacred too
blessed are the forgotten, for they shall inherit the imagination of those who care enough to try
