The Prayer--

I was in Bakersfield CA very recently, and my friend said on my last evening there--

"Wait for me to finish doing the dishes, and E and I will say a special prayer for you."

She then came to the sofa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5vrPaE5Y1owith E holding her family Bible.  It had a red cover.

USP was sitting nearby, and earlier E had crocheted a white beret for me for winter, adding a sun visor at my request.

I said it would be OK if she just read that psalm, number 24 or 25.

She did.

Earlier, as we had been separated by circumstance since about 1990 or 1991, I told her about my epiphany in hospital which happened about 1994.

As I have told her already about that, I think I am now ready to write it as a novel, if I can find a literary agent.

Burma is chugging along one track and does not need me, but I need to write.
