Do you read your Bible? Were all gonna be taken up one of these days? The woman stared at me for a moment from one of the two soft chairs in Panera I had been saving for a meet up, but I had told her, You may sit there until he shows up. She had sat down and then the words began to flow. She threw me out, my mother did. She takes in stray cats because she says its cruel to make them stay out in the cold, but she throws her own daughter out. Guessing at the age of the mother, I mentally visualized an 80 year old senior opening up the door and throwing this chunky short woman outside. The Bible says you need to love your children. Is that love? She looked me squarely in the eye for a moment then continued. Homeless, Im homeless. Sleep in Santa Monica park. Oh, they mostly leave us alone. Food? Hard to find food if youre a picky eater. In another two months, you wont recognize me. I will have lost my weight and gotten my life back together. See this gray hair? and points to the quite visible roots that had escaped the red hair drench at some earlier point. I got that gray hair for a reason. When I got pregnant with my son, my mom, said Abort him. Now she likes him better than me. Should I tell him his grandmother wanted him dead? I need to see a Christian counselor. Do you know of any? Oh, you havent lived her long? Well, my mother..... She was writing a book, had just traveled from the east where her mother lives, was skeptical that I even knew the Bible until I correctly answered her question what pure religion and undefiled was. She entertained me at first, and then began teaching me. Homeless people seem to know how to do that. Chance encounter? Hardly.
