Happy Christmas - war is over
Mood:  sad

well, made it through another xmas.  did the usual, ate drank and tried to be merry.  this season just works to drive home the gap between those who have and those who don't.  walked to quebec side to get some beer (ontario not having yet entered the current century) and saw a native woman i know passed out on the bridge.  how sad is it that you spend xmas day, alone, drinking on a bridge over the ottawa river.  i watched others that i know from the homeless community slipping into the bushes by the river to drink there sherry, again by themselves.  i thank god the weather was warm - at least the cold wouldn't kill them. 

 i am glad this xmas season is over.  all of us who feel alienated, for whatever reason, can get back to pretending that we fit in.  i think about how jesus would have felt that day on the bridge.  i doubt he would have passed by and just left her.  and what's sad, is that my heart said to sit with her.  and i passed by.
