Last Thursday evening S., my Ukrainian flatmate and friend told me that she'll move on to the West
it felt like a small failure
not being able to make her happy here
Friday morning it turned out that J.,
one of my seminarian students
has been sent home
(over some very odd scandal)
and it felt like a small betrayal
since I too told L. earlier
that he doesn't seem to work too hard
The weekend was great
celebrating Faith & Light's 50th anniversary
with around 180 others
(half of them intellectually disabled)
on a fabulous retreat site
And then on Monday I refused a child
who could have been mine
but I couldn't bear the thought that he might be
(and certainly is very close to being)
intellectually disabled
I felt horrible afterwards
what right do I have to pick, seriously
to deem this little boy unworthy
and by every chance, leave him to the mercy of the state
(though in a happy scenario
he might still be found by parents abroad)
