Human Suffering

We were at Eric's Aunt Bette's for Passover this weekend. She has a wooden statue of a weeping Buddha. Tess couldn't figure out what she was looking at when she first encountered it. She asked me several questions, and I finally demonstrated the pose to help her see the head in his hands. Then she got it.

"Oh," she said gravely, "does he miss his Mommy?"
