Dear Anonymous,
He reminds me of many young men I have met. Handsome. Young. So young. Stories of lives detoured by drugs. Colleges left. Classes abandoned. Families distanced. The siren of heroin. The mistress who will not be refused easily. It may not be his exact story but some of the refrains are so familiar. The despondency cloaked as survival skill.
He shows me he still has the mask he requested from me last week. Tucked away safely in his pocket. To use on the bus. He shows me.
So many young men. And women. Derailed. I am fortunate, blessed really, to know many that have flourished in recovery. And their about-faces hold me in these moments. Not that I insist it should be any different than it is, but that it CAN be.
Maybe there really is a season, and a time for every purpose, under heaven.

Sunrise. The light tide continues to come in. Another month before the solstice when the light tide begins its' retreat. Savoring these early morning first lights, running to see you at 4:30 AM. Then. 4:15 AM. Then 4 AM....until those mornings I run out at 3:45 AM never looking back. Medicine mornings. Every one.

Sometimes the body fails. And there you are on the street. No where to go. No way to clean up or change...
Dear Anonymous,
Sometimes the body fails. And there you are on the street. No where to go. No way to clean up or change.
It's like this sometimes.
A blanket (thank you Dear Anonymous) a new, clean pair of pants (thank you Dear Anonymous) and a coffee card go some distance to supporting a fragile moment. Mike, like all of us would like to be seen in our 'best' moments. But Mike has the heart to share how it is too...when things are not 'best'. Thank you. May you know some comfort today. Some solace from pain. Some relief.

Coffee card and socks always a hit. Thank you Dear Anonymous.

Dear Anonymous,
A hard day but not as hard as Tuesday. And that's a win.
This is Ed. He's looking forward to a cup of coffee and says 'I think I will recuse myself and head on down.'
May his day be a good day.
