one who appeared so empowered, strong
and invincible on the ground, was actually
very weak in this eternal context.
Smiling at him, he seemed
embarrassed, but I motioned him to move
aside and be unconcerned. This was nothing
of which to be ashamed, for he served his
function well on the ground.
Looking at the three youths, whose
heads were covered with snow caps in a
stupid attempt to disguise their identity, I
placed my hands on my hips and just stared
at them. As the light from my eyes
penetrated their hearts, they began to feel
shame. A kindly old woman who had tried
to help them had become the victim of their
evil design. Beginning to look down, their
bodies became slumped and cowardly.
Never having to say a word, they just knew.
Grabbing all three of them, they filed
out of the store, as a life-threatening
potential had been changed. I'd seen
something I'd not previously understood;
the illusion of power on the ground being
challenged from the sky. Putting my arm
around this man's shoulder, I looked him in
the eye and smiled. Slowly, we walked away
as there was no necessity for words.
