her best friend moved away,
incommunicado for
six
months
she found her mother,
unconscious
on the floor,
brain tumor
he suffered a horrific
car accident
and faces painful rehabilitation
her cancer is back
and
as i write
vivid
these,
the suffering,
override the images
of bright red tomato
on
dark green vine
that i could have pictured
and
as i write
vivid
god reminds me
that he hears the cries
of the
brokenhearted
and
i will pray,
vividly

i'm clear to the tippy-top thankful for you, and all the kendals in my life who don't flinch from suffering. who jump in with me instead and pray vividly.
