My son’s cub scout pack went caroling at a local nursing home tonight.
Young voices.
Aged faces.
Together sharing space. A moment.
Memories and stories I long to know.
Questions from the back seat on the way home:
“Why were there so many people there?”
“What is Alzheimer’s?”
“Did you know two people die every second?”
Beginning of life.
Endings of life.
Entangled together.
“This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.”
Zechariah 7:9
