\u201c\u2026 so that you may know that there is none like Me in all the world.\u201d (Exodus 9:14)<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

no; \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Belief is more
\n<\/span>than listening to the echo of the unicorn\u2019s voice<\/span><\/p>\n

chanting<\/span><\/p>\n

as it leaps \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> from mesa \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> to mesa<\/span><\/p>\n

above deep chasms in a steep desert valley,<\/span><\/p>\n

in search of the griffin<\/span><\/p>\n

that guards the egg of the phoenix<\/span><\/p>\n

waiting to hatch and emerge<\/span><\/p>\n

in flames.<\/span><\/p>\n

no; \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Belief is more
\n<\/span>than opening a book<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> of ancient incantations<\/span><\/p>\n

written in an undecipherable script<\/span><\/p>\n

to be uttered in an inexpressible language<\/span><\/p>\n

that only the moon understands and speaks<\/span><\/p>\n

as she elucidates her wisdom to the stars<\/span><\/p>\n

on nights<\/span><\/p>\n

of the lunar eclipse.<\/span><\/p>\n

no; \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Belief is more
\n<\/span>than cooking<\/span><\/p>\n

a broth<\/span><\/p>\n

that brews in a cauldron,<\/span><\/p>\n

a potion of olive leaves whispering their oracles in autumn<\/span><\/p>\n

of soft moss praying under snow in winter
\n<\/span>of clover conversing with angels in spring<\/span><\/p>\n

and mushrooms seeking portents<\/span><\/p>\n

in summer.<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

no; \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Belief is, deep-down,<\/span><\/p>\n

the dry Bones<\/span><\/p>\n

stripped of unnecessary sinews and flesh;<\/span><\/p>\n

the brittle, bared, sun-bleached skeleton<\/span><\/p>\n

scraped of extraneous skin and muscle,<\/span><\/p>\n

exposed;<\/span><\/p>\n

and Belief is that Wind,<\/span><\/p>\n

which touches, like the hand of prophecy, the son of man<\/span><\/p>\n

standing head-bowed in the midst<\/span><\/p>\n

of a desert valley of dry Bones;<\/span><\/p>\n

that Wind enabling him to lift his eyes,<\/span><\/p>\n

to breathe and justly answer,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes;<\/span><\/p>\n

these Bones <\/span>can<\/span><\/i> live.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":97773,"id":97773,"title":"dan6-prayer
