Good posture

Alf the sacred burro: a student intern back from Chile, and standing tall down in jail visiting:

When I show my Public Defender ID and the jail door buzzes open, I begin to feel a lump in my throat. Phlegm mostly...

I’ve seen lots of different things there...

One thing that I haven’t seen yet is “the face of evil.” Many of my friends seemed to think I’d be seeing it every day, but I’m beginning to wonder if it even exists at all. I’ve looked at innocents, addicts and sinners through those steel bars, but try as I might the most that I ever see is a human face. And so I’ve yet to meet someone I couldn’t in some light see with compassion.


Suerte, compaƱero Burro.
