Night sky

Night sky. Stars lost in the city’s loud light.

Raised in a large urban center, I look back on my childhood. And remember something different.

Limited electricity. Unpredictable outages. 

Frequent darkness in the evenings.  

And stars.

Lion in the thicket

Satan lurks. Like a lion in the thicket. 

Waiting to seize a victim. 

Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth. From generation to generation. Oppression and terror? His language and modus operandi.

But into that thicket of devouring and death comes the Good Shepherd. 

Seeking the lost.
