hallelujah

I think this is my first miracle. I hope it's not my last. He's alive, and getting better everyday. Hosanna.

from josh:

CIVITAS

I find that in stepping out of the city
I’m immediately forced to touch reality
I lost service and then found it
Lost in the arms of grace (in human form)

This place smells comfortable
It tastes like the saliva of a sweet declaration
It sounds like homemade food and feels like the stars
It looks like joy
I’m home

Through the car’s heat
Familiar Street shines red and green
With hints of yellow in between

And then it hits me,
I can’t live alone
Not now
Not ever

Thank God I won’t have to

Backyard lessons and frontseat drivers remind me
Love resides here
