The story behind

As a child I was taken to funerals by my mother & my grandmother, not because they wanted me to be aware of such happenings but because I couldn’t be left alone at home while they were gone. The memory persists of women beating their breasts and their foreheads and wailing all the while. The memory came over me from my distant but vivid past.
