 CONSEQUENCES

Stop to say “Hello!” or stop

to buy an ice cream cone:

expect consequences.

Sticky fingers - what to do

with the napkin - ending up

with a lifetime relationship.

A  PRIEST

A distant mystery - lots of projections ….

How aware is he of me and me of he?

We’re on different sides of the street.

We’re strangers - better another boat

in the water - another car on the road ….

Till death or a wedding or a sick call.

Then - sometimes - a wondering, "Oh

 I didn’t know that."  Or a  moment in

a church - a grace - a question

gets hooked to the hole in my soul ….

Thought for today: 

“Lost is a place too.” 

Christine Crawford  [1939-    ]

GLIMPSES  OF  GRACE

The holding of a door ….

A 7 year old with a bow tie and a clarinet ….

A 6 year old with a bow and a violin ….

An old lady waving with her walker ….

People stepping back to let us out of the elevator ….

A couple celebrating their 50^th Anniversary ….

A skate boarder rolling down an empty street ….

Three generations playing cards together ….

An empty line at McDonald’s …..

The silent sound a bill going into the poor box ….

37 high school kids taking a bow at the end of a musical….

WRONG  DOOR

Knock. Knock!

“Who’s there?”

“Oops! Wrong door.

Sorry! I thought ….”

We began to talk.

We discover another.

Knock. Knock.

Sometimes we discover ....

The wrong door

was the right door.
