Bike Courier Chronicles - the Archdiocese

A little man for such a big title.
Rosy cheeks flushing the blue of his eyes like birds from a bush;
Charisma came to mind as his eyes met mine.
He was the big guy I could tell
By the stiffness of everyone else
In the straight faced entourage
Seeing right through me.
His Holiness...
Or humbleness
Perhaps gave this guy his clout.

Never thought of archbishops as the humble sort. Heartening that you saw that possibility in him. Thanks, Maureen. :) Gershon

Such a cool piece my friend. I don't know if it was suppose to but this made me smile at the end.

Thank you Chris! You were by design made to smile (success!), I think clout is a funny word. xomo ;),
