12/30
Nancy comes by to pick up the keys to get
some work on the apartment done. I need to go home to see my boys off.
Passing through the sanctuary on the way,
out, I see someone asleep in the pews. It is the very strange young woman with
the large back pack and larger eyes. I’m sorry, I say, but we’re locking up now
and you’ll have to leave.
She looks up at me, repeats Sorry, with
the sound of disdain, defeat, sarcasm, desperation…sorry…and begins to gather
her things. She starts walking to the front door. Nancy says loudly,It’s
locked. And the youg woman keep swalking. Nancy rpeat it again three times. The
young woman does a complete silent circuit of the sanctuary and then s back
with us. I hold the door open. She looks uo at me and leaves. I see her
stopping someone across the street.
When I return, Rachelle is there, going
through her things.
RL invite me up to see an episode of show he’s been wanting me to see before the
New Year. The show is Leverage.
Basically a team including an actress/grifter, a sneak thief, a hacker and a
hot man headed but the mastermind, a former insurance investigator/detective.
He’s called Nate and is played by Timothy Hutton. They plan elaborate cons, on behalf of average folks preyed on by the powerful.
It’s called, the Miracle Job, Season 1,
episode 4. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1290273/)
Basically, Nate was a former seminary student and now is drawn in to help his
old friend,Father Paul, an activist priest in an inner city church that is about t be taken
over by developers. Torn down. No regard for the neighborhood. A miracle has to be created. With means justifying
the ends. For both priest and mastermind. I enjoy the comparison and
connection. And in the end, we do create our own miracles. Or at least most of
them.
