this morning #416.

this morning, heaven had heaved her forward towards a future full of penance & service & something resembling faith and she was ready to take it all on. last night, on the eve of today’s festivities, she laid in bed & prayed to god for a simple sign that she should give herself over to the good of society. her neighbors were suffering. she saw it every day but wasn’t seeing anyone else step up to the plate & right the ship. then it came. it was that same sign that had come to her so many times before, the same one that had driven so many decisions in her life. when the sun came out from behind the clouds, she was reminded that god was there. it was her turn to step up to the plate.
