Trestrail: Pondering Jesus Pondering Jesus Sipping our coffee the priest and I, while he ponders Jesus, I, kindness. “Aren’t they the same?” I asked. He nods, but I can see he is sleeping. His sermon can wait. “All people?” I wake him with my question. He, again, nods. “All people, but there are rules, it seems.” I know not all people are loved equally. Some, make mistakes. Some, born different. “We choose, how we live,” he says. I and the father, sip coffee. He ponders kindness, I, Jesus. -Susan Trestrail Prairie Light Published by Review DigitalCommons@COD, 2018 20 “Sunday Afternoons” Molly Miklosz Colored Pencil 1
