Karlyn Berg

Inspired by Gabriel Garcia Marquez from his short story
“The Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” in the book the Leaf Storm.

”an old man, a very old man, lying face down in the mud, who, in spite of his tremendous efforts, couldn’t get up, impeded by his enormous wings.” Staring at this pitiful “bird-man,”

“…if wings were not the essential element in determining the difference between a hawk and an airplane, they were even less so in the recognition of angels.”
