September 11, 2006, five years later

For the anniversary of 9/11, we offer for your meditation three works by the artist Frederick Franck.

Recently, Frederick's wife Claske shared the story of his 9/11 painting. Not long after that sad day, Frederick traveled from his home in Warwick, New York, to the the Hudson River, along whose banks the Twin Towers once stood. In a peaceful place up-river from New York City, the artist noticed some children playing. That moment became an ink painting. It hangs in the Franck's home next to a later painting made on the solstice in 2003.

In front of the paintings is Franck's sculpture "Pieta for Darfur and Iraq." In his book The Icon Reborn, the sculptor describes its genesis:

"It must be at least thirty or forty years ago that in a French book on medieval art I saw a double-spread reproduction of the 'Pieta of Avignon,' attributed to Enguerran Charonton around 1450. Years later, remembering this masterpiece, I decided to see the original and drove from Paris to Avignon, a trip of some 360 miles. Arriving in Avignon I tried to find the 'Pieta' in the cathedral and various churches in vain, until I approached a distinguished looking older man who smiled politely and told me that the 'Pieta of Avignon" had for many years been in the Louvre! I did not turn around to drive back to Paris, but never forgot the impact of this irresistible work of art.

"I am no longer very mobile and glancing in the paper yesterday at the horrors of the tsunami, of decapitations and car bombs in Iraq, I noticed my wheelchair standing in front of me. It transformed itself at once into the 'Pieta.'

By Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

September 11, 2001

And once
we were children
who could sail forever,
and time would never catch us... then,
this day.

Sudden
day of sorrow
awash in mourning prayers
instilled my soul with boundless grief
untold.

Carol Raisfeld

... ... ...

For a friend lost

a wail of bagpipes
the cadence of drums -
new york 2001

prayers for him -
in the first pew
his unborn son

flecks of dust
rise in columns of light --
requiem mass

graveside -
she hugs his fireman's hat
and their baby boy

memorial service
one painful chime
after another

seasons stilled -
no thoughts of tomorrow
in grief for his soul

Carol Raisfeld
