HIDING  PLACE 

“You know, you need, a hiding place?”

Someone said that to me - way back.

Then they asked, “Where’s yours?”

“Walking…. Taking a good walk by

myself. That always works.”

“Good. Glad that helps ….”

So I asked back, “Where’s yours?”

“Oh, I have this neat back porch!”

“Or sometimes I use this chair in the cellar.”

“And, sometimes, I love to drop into an

empty afternoon church. Just to hide there

behind a pole - sort of like Jesus slipping

away from the boys and heading for

the mountains or this garden he knew of.”

I answered, “Hey, want to take a walk?”
