after a faculty meeting

another one of my brother's photos
i ran on the school track late in the afternoon
the low-slung clouds
  black, gray, yellow
came to meet the fall trees
  green, yellow, orange, red
and my prayers
  were low-slung too
  were thirsty pleas
for young people
  their safety
  their wisdom
  their understanding
  their healing
and these jesus words
came to mind
take heart!
i have overcome
the
world
hallelujah!

  4. Hi Kendal,

    I just left a comment on the story of November 2010. I saw that you are a twin and I have a twin sister. You both are beautiful.

  7. He has overcome...what rest there is in that simple truth. We can lay all our burdens right on that spot.
