Euthanasia?
Abortion?
Pro-Choice?
Words that are bantered about daily
debated
argued
lobbied
petitioned
without a connection to reality, to real flesh and blood people.
This photo illustrates the reality of life.
The circle of life
The right to complete
our circle of life in God’s will
in His timing
Is it a miracle that this tiny baby
and this elderly, hospitalized man are alive?
Their encounter is precious;
even the baby realizes a special moment
The divine spark of life
burns just as brightly
in a young infant and
a bed-ridden elderly man.
Both recognize each other in
their silent communion,
as they look deeply into
each other’s eyes.

It is a shame that in many countries neither of these two are far from having their sacred right to life a negotiable factor; a shame that both abortion and euthanasia are so widely accepted and practiced.
