I don't know very many people who can piece together eloquent prayers when their souls are wounded. Words don't come at those times, but tears do. I have always thought of my tears as prayers.
I mean, let's take the average spouse. You know, you show up in an employer's, you know, office, and it's shown that you've changed jobs every two years. Well, to many employers that could be viewed as a red flag.

We who go a-fishing are a peculiar people. Like other men and women in many respects, we are like one another, and like no others, in other respects.

It is old, so very old.

We are each others angels in the way that we answer each others prayers and we can also make each others lives miserable.
. . . the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of greater importance.

How many of those who are insecure seek power over others as a compensation for inadequacy and wind up bringing consequences down upon their heads and those around them? How many hide out in their lives, resist the summons to show up, or live fugitive lives, jealous, projecting onto others, and then wonder why nothing ever really feels quite right. How many proffer compliance with the other, buying peace at the price of soul, and wind up with neither?
