Wk 30: Hope & Expectation

the beauty of this unity

is one & the same.

gracious and believing,

they seek no fame-

hope is their expectation,

His love

their perfection.

trials in place

is what-not fear-

but together they learn

to grow and face

this sight

so delicate

so beautiful & clear

Wk 31: Waiting for a Friend

Last Thursday, I saw my ol' homeless friend, Digger. He was sitting across the street from the Vortex in Little 5 Points, waiting for passers-by. I stopped and said hello and asked if he wanted something to eat. He said, yes, of course, so off I went with my friend to find a place with decent grub. I think he was hoping for a burger and fries, but I couldn't locate the place he was talking about w/in walking distance, so we went into a sandwich cafe shop and I bought him a sub, with chips, dessert and a water. It was simple and a bit healthier, he was ok w/ that. Ironically someone ahead of us had given him a slice of pizza, so he was set for a little while, I suppose. When I squatted on the ground, Digger asked where'd I'd been, that it'd been too long since he'd seen me last and told me not to make it so long next time...I think it had been since winter, I felt bad. He told me he wanted to make sure he saw me again before he died. I thought it was sweet. He quickly moved on and told me that his eyes still weren't doing so well, but he was surviving anyway. I was glad to see him and I hope he's doing alright today.
