In a psychiatric hospital you are not allowed to have addictive substances, including caffeine and tobacco. I'm not sure who had it worse the smokers or the coffee drinkers. Since we didn't have coffee, we had other drinks. I do mean other. As a community we all decided our favorite other drink was “pink”. None of us knew what flavor this mystery drink was. We just called it “pink”. Just like me, the pink drink didn’t have an identity. It was just -- pink. ...So in a psychiatric hospital in August of 2012 a group of people gathered around a table with “pink” and oyster crackers. We prayed and had communion. The human spirit can connect with each other and with God anywhere.
