hello my friends!! here we are again!! fall is upon us...i do love the change in seasons, if only it didn't lead into winter!! ugh!!! so i will make the most of what is left of the good weather and enjoy the beautiful foliage to come! i am definately an outdoors girl...always looking for a babbling brook with a soft waterfall or just the right two trees to walk between.
so it was appropriate that i spent the weekend in the pocanos (did i spell that right? LOL) anyway it was great! lots of fun, we went for a friend's wedding, one of my sister's and my mom went as well. and during the wedding ceremony, in walks a homeless woman, carrying what i presume to be all of her megar belongings. she walked right past the priest, the bride and groom, right in front of the whole congregation and sat herself down in a pew. stunned, everyone stared in silence. then a few people snickered-which made me mad. i always think to myself "there, but for the grace of god, go i." she was older, with a weathered face, that i found so beautiful. she crossed herself, and she bowed her head and she prayed. there was nothing pretentious about her. she had come for god's blessing, and then she looked up, hopeful, and participated in the rest of the mass.
people tend to judge homeless people. truth is, we don't know why they are homeless, or what circumstance brought them to where they are. it's a short road for alot of people. i don't look at them with pity, i pray that they find courage and strength to get up everyday and face their burdens...just like the rest of us.

let us consider that we are all insane. it will explain us to eachother. it will unriddle many riddles. mark twain
until next time...safe journey.
