The Peacock 1875

As though thoroughly shamed and humiliated, Lawrence does not reply, but bows his head over his plateful of artisanal potato salad.  The ancient Mother of God at his side, she places on his back a consoling hand.  Then she takes hold of his fork with her free hand and as though Lawrence is her darling little infant, she begins to feed him his potato salad.  He accepts and appears to be even beginning to smile. "Christoper", says Jesus.  "When you return to your life in the world you will find that all your ties with the mental health profession will be completely severed and you will be starting anew in my service.  They have built their work upon lies.  I am the truth, and I alone am the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
