Observations

Lost in the rushes of everyday, we find quiet and comfort in those who are part of us.

A man on a cell phone walking down the street during a snow storm:
"Can you hear me God?
God can you hear me? Can you hear me?
God, I need your help!"

             Philadelphia

Along 95, by the Black River, the car in front of me displays a pro-life sticker.
As I pass, I glance to the side, the driver looks 90 and ready to die.

          --Upstate New York

Monday morning...
My head feels like loose pipes in the back of a truck.
The planes seem louder than usual today.

Those bibles in hotel rooms
the ones you thought would keep you safe.
Bombs are exploding on the streets of London
no prayers will save you from this place.

          --Great Neck, NY
