No Shame in Asking

As she fumbled through her wallet for the food stamps, the man behind her shifted his weight from one leg to the other. His annoyance and smug attitude escaped no one’s view in the register line.

A Job to Do

A Tattered Tapestry

A tattered tapestry I have no words. Which is surprising, since I use words all the time. I also have no answers. Although there are many solutions being tossed around.
