Saving...
He said, after I said I was Lloyd's wife, he said he did not know you were married but he knew you were off to the wars. In the backwards English he uses the sentence was gentle and almost funny. When I was typing, the little dog came up and let me know it was time for meat. The first time since I mentioned it before. I sort of jerked then and forgot to space between "will" and "be." I don't think the prayer is a magic formula to be rattled over, but its meaning, and therefore its use to anyone changes as time goes on. Maybe we could join our thoughts in it every night. It isn't possible to know the who and how of the universe, but the best ideals can still be goals.
