Two things.
Today, I overheard the homeless woman who collects cans and bottles outside our office tell our security guard that god had been good to her.
The other is a story told by my summer studies tutor, Carol Jackson. Carol is a slight, beautiful woman with red hair. Not orange hair, but genuinely RED hair. She told us that when she was a toddler, she fell into a friend's pool and nearly drowned. But her recollection of the event was one of fascination, not fear: As she fell under the water, she looked up, captivated by the motion of the light and water around her hair and billowing dress. She cried when her father pulled her out.
I can't find her anywhere, but I did give her my poster of Wanderer Above the Sea of Clouds because I couldn't take it with me on the plane.
