fragile thoughts soon forgotten

"introspective
pilgrims
that's what we are" my friend says
(the one working with street kids in bangkok and strumming her guitar softly)
"on a journey to find our souls"
she reminds me of madeleine l'engle
quiet genius voicing my
subconscious thoughts
walking along life's long winding path stopping to
scribble poetry, mend broken wings or kneel down
and pray
stay in my life you make me want to
upgrade my
character

em, all i can say is thank you! it's good to hear the echo of my own voice once in a while, and you give me pause with what you say here too... because i also know how "noisy" it can be working with young people who shouldn't be as shattered as they are... what can we do??

but i love the edmonton graffiti artist who leaves birds painted everywhere -- with speech bubbles, "listen."

come, lord jesus.

love sarah
