Have you noticed that life loses its luster sometimes? It plods along, moping, for weeks on end, not noticing the beauty, the growth, the joy just a few steps outside the door-or maybe even the happiness lying dormant within the walls themselves. It used to stretch elegantly for the new, the curious, and the unreachable. But now it languishes, yawns and settles-bored-into a summer funk. How about a couple of teenaged girls from Northern Ireland to polish up a life? To really enliven things, how about making it one Protestant and one Catholic, with two completely different backgrounds, ideologies, politics and cultures? Sheryl and Chloe danced into our hearts a week ago, and with a flourish. They did not hesitate to shine their lights into our small, crowded, busy darkness, beguiling us with their amazement at everything they eyes fell upon. Did they realize how immediately we brightened, how instantly we began reflecting their glow? Sheryl loaned me her nail polish for the 4th of July, replete with iridescent twinkly flecks that outshone the fireworks. "Ooooh, I love the sparkles!" I enthused, and the girls really thought we were still talking nail polish. God only knows how to put the shine back on a life.
