MIDNIGHT MASS | Book VII: Revelation
Sparrows. In the Bible it says, “The sparrow will not fall to the ground, not even a sparrow, without God knowing.” He feels every death. I was in South America, in my youth, on a mission, and I stood beneath this… great waterfall. The scale of it. The weight of it… The roar of it, it drowned out every noise in the jungle. Every bird and every voice. And then when I was older, I thought about death, how many deaths occur every second… There’s people, animals, sparrows. If every drop of water in that waterfall were a death, I thought, “Oh. That must be what it’s like for God.” Every moment of every hour of every day, a deluge of death, so loud, how could he hear my whispered prayers over that thundering roar of deaths?
It lingers for your whole life
How slow life seems to me,
How violent the hope of love can be.
Me watching this when I was six like “sure hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me
