The keeper ended her incredibly long day of work with the Mass for the Homeless Men and Women who died in shelters or on the street in Seattle---eighty five of them! P preached well about "home." At the conclusion of the Mass the piper led them out to the courtyard where the names of the deceased were read and as the cathedral bells tolled. Such a powerful moment. But she told use not all the names were read, and she wished they had taken the timeand trouble to honor every name.
But she has the list and Peter Beagle's words still apply whether in the courtyard or at our house.
