When I went to the grocery store today I passed a couple with children, the man holding up a sign by the side of the road.
I didn't read the sign, didn't have time as I turned the corner, but I knew he was asking for money.
What else?
I decided to get cash at the store and come back when I'd done my shopping to give them some but when I left the store and drove back around that corner, they were gone.

I wish the camellias would open.

  3. I held s door open for s lady with a package today and she said "God bless you! And have a merry Christmas!"

    I'm not going to lie, I welled up.

    Sometimes, our hearts are just so full that the excess leaks out our eyeholes.

  7. I can hear your desolation, and I imagine the camellia will help it to pass.

  8. Now I've gone and read, backwards, all of your posts. And while I knew about Kathleen, I am struck afresh by her death, and I'm weeping here for such loss in the world.

  10. i love your generosity of spirit and compassion for the world that sometimes makes your soul a bit too permeable for easy comfort.

  11. I can feel the blankness here and I feel it too. Sometimes I don't even want to shake it.
