HOLY INNOCENTS
Who is holy and who is innocent?
Does the child who whines and
wants her way - is she breaking
her innate goodness? Is she
being selfish - at its early stages?
How about the boy who knocks
over the other kid’s sand castle
at the beach - when strangers stop to say
to the builder, “Nice job. Nice job!” and
all the breaker made was a mud puddle?
all the breaker made was a mud puddle?
How about the other end of life?
Who is holy and who is innocent?
Is it the old guy or gal at the end
of the nursing home corridor who
spreads smiles and joys to all?
