Kindred Spirit

*Originally posted October 7, 2006*

Exhausted, but happy. Met two kindred spirits, yesterday and today. Thankful to talk to folks who understand this writing thing and the demands of its call.

Spotted a woman at the train station yesterday, with her work uniform still on. Train employee. Walking her daughter and son down the platform,waiting for the train. Preteen daughter grinning and talking, focused lovingly on mom. Baby boy oblivious to them, focused on the flaps of his raincoat. Blessed sight, lucky children. Mom was tired, but putting up that good front, engagin them and listening. I was so proud of her, it couldn't be easy.

With all the craziness in the world, the shooting of innocent children, children preyed on in our own Capital, sexually and mentally corrupted- my heart aches. It was good to see a mother hen with her chicks, protective and lovin. An old school mom.

Keep still during turmoil, and watch Him bring peace.

Good night
