Fragments: Words to a Chaplain

“This is why I’ve always thought if you can see someone’s face you can see God.”

“The way he died haunts me. I cannot figure out how to let the images of his blankness go.”

“Before he died, she put a spiral with her fingers on my palm and on his palm and then put our hands together and he died with the two of us intertwined in that way.”

“I hope that I go and fly with the hummingbirds. That’s what I want.”

“I do not feel very attached to my own life.”

“I don’t think there is anything to worry about.”

“Why worry when you can pray.”

“I think everyone gets the heaven they dream.”
