Prediuctions And Prayers



When you give up predictions, preferring to pray,
you exchange crystal balls for a God whose attention
is often distracted, preferring to play
in casinos, where gamblers are His type of menschen.

Inspired by an email from Karin:

While we are assessing our feelings (I suppose we have all been in CA too long) I would say that I oscillate between optimism and fear. For the most part, I have faith that things will turn out fine, and we will all be celebrating. But then I realize that the world is unfair and unpredictable, so it’s best to just pray and stop making predictions.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

People have always found a way to get their prayers answered, even if they had to make one. And when one is fabricated to suit the current cultrual customs,10 outta 10 times, it's dependant on the human providing the faith. Faith, which ALMOST all religions claim a prerequisite to acceptance become the very fuel needed for the infintie gods to respond, their permission needed. Like needing a passport to travel internationally. A restriction is a restriction. Perhaps gods need restrictions, but prayers need to be the purest freedom far exceeding the abilities of gods. I hope all your prayers flourish.
