G2 Iron Man
Patrick reappeared with an apocalyptic aura. Walking the streets of town, black staff in hand, backpack in place, determination etched on his face, surfacing as though a coma of one hundred and eleven days hadn't slowed his pace.
When I caught up to him at the farmers market, it was as Knute Rockne would testify, "Back to the Basics". He was so thankful for his family, and everyone's prayers. Farther on, he went on to describe how he saw his mother and a Carpenter during these 111 days. When he asked the Carpenter a question, the Carpenter just nodded at the ocean. As his dad explained earlier, "Patrick has been places we'll never be."

Eerie...I caught parts of "O Brother Where Art Thou" on tv last night and was haunted by this song. I think you played it for me before, but hearing it then, and now in reference to Patrick's story - powerful!
ReplyDelete111 days? I'm surprised Carol let him stay away that long...
Carol did put him on quite a long rope, didn't she.
ReplyDeletePerfect. Great photo, too.
ReplyDeleteTony, now we see in whole which we only saw in part. PQ
ReplyDeletePQ: ...and the parts are growing all the time.
