The image I posted earlier of the four white steps has haunted me all week. A family in Boone's Chapel, Alabama was killed when a tornado destroyed their mobile home. Only the white steps and flowers remained. How can such a violent storm leave the most fragile life untouched? You hear stories like this all the time, and they seem unbelievable until you see the evidence. I just can't imagine what their relatives must be going through. My prayers are with them.
Boone's Chapel, AL
The storm
tossed mobile homes,
twisted trees,
flipped cars,
but in its rage
paused,
admired
the four white steps
flanked by newly planted begonias,
carefully
stepped aside.
