Seattle Heart

Love manifests in the heart of one who hears the cries of the hungry, the fear of those who cannot pay their rent. It drives around with a Seattle heart dispensing checks and kind words, rides for the weary and clothes for those who need them.

Not afraid to crack the whip and lay down the law, the gentleness and justice behind both are relayed in sweet honesty and defended with brutal truth.

It is an old Way, a tried and true way, the way of the father whose world is not defined by bloodlines and social mores.

A love strong enough to admit its mistakes joyfully when a prodigal returns to the light.

A love that is strong and true, willing to go the distance and willing to hold fast to those things he believes.
