ALL  IS  HOLY

 

All is holy – sacred – a sacrament.

The little kid draws the picture of a cow.

He saw her out the bus window on the way

home from school. That picture was on the

refrigerator door for at least a year – sacred.

So too mom’s hair brush which her daughter

wanted after mom died 11 years ago. She

had taken care of mom and her hair the

last year of her life. So too dad’s shoe horn

and the hundreds of things in the museum

called “our home.” All is holy. All is sacred,

but you have to ask, “What’s this?”

and, “What’s the story? And I notice

the brush has some gray hair in it?”
