The Woman Unloaded

-

 



She came around the Bank corner

Of the Plaza.

Standing there, just listening. 

I released

Selections like the following...

Oh Shenandoah

Trumpet Voluntaire

Waltzing Matilda

Piano Man

Just as I Am.

A piece improvised.

Eventually she put a coin

In my Box.

The testimony followed.

I just listened, head turned slightly.

Serious health problems involving

Herself and her Dad.

After thought, I offered 

The target of Psalm 50.

She seemed to register.

She asked for my prayers and left, smiling.

(Avenues for exchange again ordained.)

Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.
