Praying so hard for Jamaica and the Caribbean
Praying for the planet
Praying for those in the eye of the hurricane
Praying
Praying
Praying because disaster relief has to come faster
with less resources
Praying because Climate Change is Harsh
and Denial is Harsher
Praying because Paper Towels are not enough
Praying because my neighborhood is big enough
to hold anyone in need
but I do not have capacity to figure it all out
Praying
that we do more
Prayers for this storm
and the next one
Praying the storm
lets up and eases
however it can
But right now
I hope that we do the short
and long range things
needed
to help
Because
Love is what
makes us Human
in the end
Amen

"Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal.
Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.
