Praying for moments
Donating to his gods
He offered his words
And the small amount of money
Placed
For learning
A language
He doesn't want
And a culture
He is making his own
For a family
That has moved
And needs him

Smiling
Although
He can not understand
Worshiping a private idea
He honours
His thoughts
Although he thinks
He honours
His ideals
And he honours himself
In his ideals
And his thoughts

I'm getting two different messages in this, Dave.  I don't know...either I need some clarification, or I need some clarification. ...Because I'm really seeing this from a very personal angle [my own...] and one of the shoes fit...and the other is very tight.

I spent monday to thursday for the last few weeks in a Thai Restaurant where they accepted me as someone who could sit around until the earliest hours of the morning if I wanted to, and even sleep on the couch of the recieving room.

A young guy is there, his mother and sister have made the move but he is lonely, lost and wants to be back home.

I watched him pray by their religious areas and then put money into a jar.

When he had gone I placed money into that jar to try and help his prayer be answered.

His words he would speak in his language but he feels it wrong to speak them and has no way out

Dave
