Little boy runs to Pope Francis ...


Pope Francis got an unexpected visitor during his latest weekly audience. A little boy who rushed up to the pope’s side. See the short video here.

Every Wednesday, Francis holds a general audience during which he greets visitors from around the world and shares a message and benediction. During this one, he just so happened to be talking about the relationship between the world’s youth and the elderly when the young boy appeared from the crowd.

The child’s presence took Francis by surprise, but the pope seemed delighted. Those in attendance began to clap.

Francis opened his arm and welcomed the boy to his side. "Hey, how are you? What is your name?" Francis said in Italian. "Do you like being here? Make yourself comfortable."

And the child did — he stood by Francis’ side for the rest of the audience.

Francis’ message was about children learning from the elderly to preserve the future.

"In the audience, we were talking about dialogue between old and young. Eh?" Francis said to the crowd, motioning to the boy. "This one has been courageous, he is staying here calmly."

 



 
I am submerged in papers. photos and generally, a mess! Attached photos show my desk, unstaged.
 
 
Since Thursday I have been waist deep trying to purge useless paper information that I thought I needed to save. 
 
 
I am sorting and 90%+ is going to a recycling bin. I didn't know how heavy paper is when you have so much? 
 


Plus I think papers, photos may propagate ? To be continued ...

Just love the black with the negative space. The video of the little boy with the Pope is priceless. The fig leaf cartoon is hilarious. :-)
