Persimmons for Watt

“In this house of urgent needs,” Angie said, “the most urgent need that afternoon was to find Watt some persimmons.”

A Mindful Monday

We pause for ourselves and we pause for one another. We open ourselves to the every-day sacred.

Mercy for Alfredo

The prison doctor had mercy. The D.A. made time to advocate for Alfredo. The victim and his mother felt compassion.

Lisa and Pete

At first, being at Joseph’s House brought Lisa no relief. If anything, it seemed to bring more pain.

Self-Blessing

Not knowing what to expect, Julia took a step toward her father.
