Imagine this scene:
One sunny winter day in Winter Park, Florida,
3 Franciscans walk into Smokey Joe’s BBQ Shack.
The casual observer observes:
Avid hiker-woman,
plaid shirt, jeans, sturdy hiking boots.

Slim professional musical man,
slacks, neatly-pressed white shirt, red tie.

Silver-haired woman,
colorful Disney-turista-style tunic, leggings, sandals.
Later joined by smiling woman, head clean-shaven,
jeans, simple brown t-shirt
stating subtly and literally:
“Let us see what Love can do.”
Missing in this bright moment:
Tall man of meaningful tattoos,
gentle man of Oregon who will later join these 4 by skype.
