He found
him
in a desert land.
And in the wasteland,
a howling wilderness;
He encircled him,
He instructed him,
He kept him
as the
apple
of His
eye.
[Deuteronomy 32:10]
**************************
"WHY do people,
always WRITE
to ME,
like that,
LORD?"
[SILENCE.]
[PATIENT SIGH.]
[TAKING A BREAK,
LISTENING TO
ANOTHER ONE OF
HIS SWEETER
CHILDREN,
TALKING SWEETLY,
PERHAPS EVEN SINGING,
AND NOT KVETCHING,
TO HIM.]
"LORD?
Are You,
THERE?"
[NOD.]
[LISTENING;
WAITING, PATIENTLY
AND LOVINGLY,
FOR ANOTHER WHINE.]
(Moment of intense
thought.)
(Silence.)
(Grimmace.)
"Can I just..
talk,
to the
JEWISH GOD?"
[PATIENT NOD,
WITH THE PATIENCE
OF JOB.]
"Yes,
Mein kin'der."
"I'm just more
COMFORTABLE...
talkin'
to HIM."
[PHILOSOPHICAL NOD.]
"It's nothing,
PERSONAL."
"I understand."
[SMILE!]
"I'm SORRY!"
(Woeful grimmace.)
(Hold palms,
upward,
at the ceiling plaster.)
"It's just THAT....."
"I understand,
My kin'der.
I understand."
[CHUCKLE!]
"Go on."
(Frown.)
"I forgot....
what I was
gonna SAY."
[NOD.]
[GLANCE OVER,
TO THE RIGHT.]
"Oh, THE FONT!
THE FONT!"
[NODDING.]
[GAZE AT A KNAT,
WALKING GENTLY
OVER A GREEN
GRAPE,
IN A BOWL,
SOMEWHERE
IN THE USA.]
"Go on."
"Yeah!
The FONT!"
"What about it,
My child."
"They ALWAYS
MAKE IT,
SO SMALL,
LORD!"
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
"Why do they,
DO THAT?"
[GLANCE, AGAIN,
OVER TO THE RIGHT.]
[PATIENT SMILE!]
"Do what,
Mein kin'der."
"MAKE IT TOO
SMALL!
I CAN'T READ IT!"
"Why don't you
tell them,
My child."
(Whiny, nasal voice.)
"I HAVE!
I HAVE!"
[PATIENT VOICE.]
"Then,
tell them,
again."
"I don't want....
to...
Ya know:
seem... too KVETCHY!"
[THE THRONE ROOM
ERUPTS WITH LAUGHTER.]
[SOME LITTLE BIRDS,
THAT HAVE BEEN
HOPPING ABOUT,
AROUND THE RIVER
THAT FLOWS IN
FRONT OF THE THRONE(S),
SUDDENLY FLY AWAY.]
"Just be yourself,
Mein kin'der."
"I TRY!
But......Ya know;
it's HARD!
I'm EMBARRASSED!"
[CHUCKLING.]
"About what,
O', kin'der."
(Squint intensely,
up at the ceiling.)
"ABOUT.....
how,
BLIND,
I am!"
[NODDING.]
"NOBODY
UNDERSTANDS!"
[PATIENT NODDING.]
(Squint, upwards.)
"THEY don't KNOW!
But....when,
I WRITE.....!
I have 'ta use an 18!
Or.....24!
And...THAT'S
with my..GLASSES!"
"Yes.
I know."
"And.....
Ya know...
to have one 'a those,
OPERATIONS...
it's like,
5000 DOLLARS!
AN EYE!"
[EMPATHETIC NODDING.]
"I understand,
My beloved."
"AND......"
(Squint.)
"They TELL ME....
I'd,
STILL,
have 'ta wear GLASSES!"
[NODDING.]
"Can You,
BELIEVE THAT?"
[NOD.]
"OY!"
[NOD.]
"Life is a trial,
My beloved."
"YEAH!"
(Snort with decisive
derision.)
"Ta' hell,
with THEM!
Those EYE DOCTORS!
Nothin', but a buncha
SHEISTERS!"
"Don't curse,
child."
"Yeah;
well.....that's
easy to SAY.
When....y'ur
not DOWN HERE!"
[RUMBLE.]
[FROWN.]
"I don't mean,
YOU,
YOU,
Lord."
(Look up,
squinting,
hopefully.)
"I meant....
Ya know:
YOU,
YOU."
[PATIENT FROWNING.]
"Hm.
Hm."
"It's just English
GRAMMAR,
Lord."
"Hm. Hm."
"Yeah.
Well....
anyway...
I'm glad,
WE had this talk."
[NODDING.]
"So....HOW
should I APPROACH,
my FRIENDS?
ABOUT IT?"
[CHUCKLE.]
"I think,
you just
did."

Keep me
as the apple
of Your eye;
Hide me
under the
shadow
of Your wings.
[Psalms 17:8]
