"As you enter this life
I pray you depart
With a wrinkled face
And a brand new heart"
-U2 from Love and peace or Else
Gums wrapped up in red lily lips
Tongues, exposed, tumbling about
Wistful dialogical intercourse,
Leaned on walkers
Death, waiting;
Death, waited for
Abandonment, desolation
Visitation, hope
The inhabitants reminded of youth
The visitors enlightened to vincibility
Silent sermons; shouted
Hospitality scorned
Dementia, embraced
Life, envied; life-sucking
Life embraced, joy sustained
Tenderness…grace

Matt, I just want to encourage you. The tenderness of your thought is wonderful to witness in an up-and-coming pastor (I hope). The Spirit is with you - eternally encouraging. You are starting to breathe with those heaven gills already.
