Barrel of Despicables
Prayer And Culture
-You've been described to me as godly.
-That's a stretch. I do pray.
-Well, I don't. I both envy you, and scorn you for being
in a barrel of despicables. Hypocrites!
-Not to judge. All faiths tell you that. And even Voltaire
instructed in cultivating your own garden.
-You're all set then. But I'm in motion, and can't quite get
to that garden.
-Must put that on top.
-And nothing tears at you in your benign...?
-Whoa! I haven't GOTTEN anywhere. It's a process of arriving.
I’m not immune to despair, depression. But I give them over.
-We part on that giving up.
-Enemies I hope not.
-Yes and no.
