hands

Yesterday I took my new (reconditioned) David Clark headset to my flying lesson. Afterwards, after we cleaned up the bug spatters from the plane, Mike picked up my headset from the seat where I had set it and carefully wrapped the wires, explaining to me how to do it (not tightly) and that I needed a bag to carry it in, because it's a really good headset.

Seeing the way his hands moved, I had a flashback of Fr. Pat Creed's hands on the Lectionary as he set it out on the ambo the last day he said mass at St. Benedict. It was a day he hadn't expected to have--that last mass with us (or anybody) in a church.
