My beloved went on a short trip early this morning. She will be back by late afternoon tomorrow. When I woke up a few hours after her, I sent her a mobile-phone text-message to wish her a good trip. And she replied in kind. “The day is made for you,” she started. “God’s on your side.” Indeed, the day is wonderful. I will take a long walk later today. But my beloved’s words started me thinking. God had better be on my side. He is not in my favor as of late. In fact, he had better ingratiate himself with me, for I am pretty tired of his foolishness. There. My beloved would not be surprised at any of this, though. She expressed herself only metaphorically, it goes without saying. For she knows how I feel about the one on high. All too well, as a matter of fact. And she would never do anything start me going on and on about the wretched subject. Anyway, I look forward to my walk on a day made for me.
