these city lights

Just because today is the 29th and we know it won't grace us for another 4 years. I go once a week with the homeless ministry to La Vega. Often I have a hard time describing how it is to be there and the many people we meet and talk with.
Maybe these pictures will tell the story.

They're not so focused but as I remember the night, these pictures kind of show what I normally see when we are on the streets. Things seem a bit blurry, confused and sad. The smells, the way the street lights illuminate us as we walk, there's a desperation that sometimes is hard to fight away. Yet I know, that He has overcome this and that His love will conquer all.
