Sky God, are you there? It’s me, Margaret.

So today I was having a conversation with someone in the program (does it matter which one?) about program stuff, and he said “yeah, we should probably just leave the sky God out of it,” which I thought was just hysterical.  That was totally new to me.  Program lingo I can love.

I’m glad I had a chance to talk to him today, because the meeting I went to was um…  crap, for the most part?  98% was people talking to hear themselves talk (I think, probably including me), except for this one guy who was in enormous pain.  A very county guy (borderline hillbilly) who tried so hard not to cry, but did anyway.  It was really moving.  He didn’t have the words to articulate what it is he’s feeling, and he didn’t really share exactly what it is that’s going on, except for all the people in his life except the people in the program are letting him down when he needs them the most.

I wonder if he even realizes he was sharing both his problem and his solution with us.

I hope he feels better.  I do.
