 valley this place, a valley in a valley paved streets below peaked roofs below apartment towers and a river of cars runs through it i join the flow on the banks of Main street watch vehicular flotsam drifting by turn my head at an ambulance's startled call Emergency! Emergency! another answers in the distance is this the valley of the shadow of death? your staff and robe make you the crazy one comforted by talk of green pastures and still waters dinner at the mission i am my own enemy mountains rise beyond concrete reaching blue sky the house of the Lord my shelter in this place ~. 
Joy and Sorrow joy and sorrow are not opposite, sitting across the wall with a door between where I travel one to the other they are here together companionably having tea inviting me to sit and drink in both the gladness and anguish because both speak to what is precious of life
