A Miracle for a Miracle.



The operation was a success,
the hunter had survived kidney surgery.
He felt utterly blessed.
So much so he thought of purjury.
All the animals he had hunted -
how their faces merged into one.
His walk was a little stunted,
but only while the skin merged into one.
Whole again he felt like a God,
the pain and machinery were gone,
and he could justify killing every one.
Then he thought of forgiveness from God,
then tried to pray the our father to his own soul, both which he had lost faith in a long time ago.
"My soul who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name, thy being come, thy will be done, on earth, through God in heaven, give us this day through angels our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses against love and light, as we forgive those who trespass against us as humanity, for yours is the kingdom I will make in heaven, the power of love, and the glory of light, now and forever, Amen to that! "
Then he asked God, Do you love me as much now that I love myself as much as you love me?
