i have just come home from a long walk. the time is around 6pm on an august sunday in new york city i am listening to a record by cannonball adderley as the early evening sunshine streams through my windows. i prefer vinyl to digital music. my apartment on 86th street is small but clean. there is fried chicken and fresh strawberries in the refrigerator but i am not hungry right now. i have 2 cats that are both 5 years old. they are well fed and happy. later tonight i will fall asleep in my big beautiful bed and dream of you and about how God works in such wondrous ways.
